Forbes magazine ranked the “Best General Managers in Sports”

The fact that Isiah Thomas & Matt Millen are even on the list show that it is badly flawed. (Isiah was ONLY 20th out of NBA GM’s)

The only thing I can think of worse that Isiah Thomas being on the list is who they had as #1. Cough… Kevin McHale.

Because he cut his payroll (Billups, Sprewell, Casell, etc) and increased his winning % they picked him as #1. Or, they’re formula picked him as #1. Fans in Minnesota are trying desperately to run him out of town. But Forbes named him #1.

I’m sticking with R.C. Buford:

“…over the last nine seasons – since Duncan joined the team in 1997-98 – the Spurs have posted a regular season record of 501-205 … the team’s –winning percentage of .710 during that span is the best of any team in the four major sports (MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL) … during the Duncan era the Spurs have captured three NBA championships (1999, 2003 and 2005) … the Spurs organization has twice been named the best franchise in professional sports (2003 and 2005) in the annual ESPN The Magazine Ultimate Standings survey (each year the Ultimate Standings ranks every professional team in a formula using analysis of team financial data combined with fan feedback in which over 30,000 fans judge teams by eight factors includinag players, bang for the buck, ownership, and stadium experience)” - From the 2006/2007 Spurs Media Guide

The Spurs franchise has won over 70% of it’s games in it’s history. Thats huge people.
