I'm talking about a bunch of dudes not taking prisoners, just doing nigqas dirty with no shame. Defense first team. Would make some great basketball imo, tbh I'm getting tired of this light skin pussyball they have on TV these days :sleeping

Example:
PG delly/fisher
SG wade/tony allen
SF artest/bowen
PF kenyon martin/reggie evans
C sheed/zaza

Would you cheer for this team? (I would :lol )
When will we see one?

That'd be a fun team to watch, no doubt.

Pace And Space / Small Ball has made thugball teams like Indiana Pacers and Memphis Grizzlies irrelevant.

tried to assemble something realistic (cap) and recent (all played in the last 10 years).

Otherwise i'd roll with a :

stockton
wade
artest
oakley
laimbeer (captain)

lol these aren't thugball teams sonny, they are just big teams. Thugball is 90s knicks, 80s pistons and sixers, even the thuggets had some in them. Out of the rosters you named david west is fake as hell, stepheson is a clown, tony allen is borderline and only randolph is the real deal. The others aren't even close.

The Suns of a few years prior had a moment as a "thugball"-esque team, or a fake one if nothing else. The Morris brothers + P.J. Tucker (hardly thugs, but got under people's skin) were a good "spoiler" team. I had high hopes for that team.

Prime Fisher wouldn't be Delly's backup

Throw too many thugs on one team and they'll be fighting eachother :lol

I meant:

PG delly (current)/fisher (old)
SG wade (peak)/tony allen (current)
SF artest (peak)/bowen(old)
PF kenyon martin(peak)/reggie evans(old)
C sheed(old)/zaza(current)

Otherwise they all command too much cash. Also tried to balance spacing a bit with 3ball capable PGs and sheed/kenyon with decent midrange game. Left only one superstar.

No thug ball team is complete without Stephen Jackson.

nah, thugball players stick together, usually players that put a lot of soul (but not necessarily intellect :lol ) in the team, they aren't primadonnas.

Look at semi thugball teams in the past 10 years:
06 indiana (too bad they got dismantled) : o'neal, artest, jackson
thuggets : kenyon martin, birdman, billups(underrated), jr smith, nene
pistons : wallace, sheed, prince, billups, bench (campbell)
they had decent inside team dynamics.
only bad exceptions were the jailblazers :roll:

none of the nuggets were really thugs tbh. Kenyon was the only real one.

Rest were regular dudes who looked weird: Birdman

wannabe thugs: melo and jr

actual good people who sometimes rape: billups

etc

monta took that captain jax leadership to heart :oldlol:
could've been a much better player if he were more in control and would't do dumb stuff off the court.

kenyon was 100% thug.
imo JR is a borderline thug, he's done too much shit at this point to not be considered one.
billups is underrated
nene was dirty (even now he plays at the edge of legality but since he's been injured alot he is more lazy than anything)
I agree the others were good guys.
