NBA contenders have weak links, too. Just don't tell anyone—wouldn't want you guys stealing my thunder, after all. Disrupting flaws may not be as evident on championship-chasers, but they are there. And we're going to find them.
In order to preserve the sanctity of exclusiveness, we'll be looking at only the top contenders—the teams with the best shot at winning their respective conference.
Worthwhile candidates will invariably be left off. That's just a symptom of exclusivity. More than half the Western Conference would be listed if this were a loosey-goosey, open invite.
Instead of cheapening the contender classification, we're going to honor it. While subjective, chosen teams' inclusions are, again, based on their ability to make the NBA Finals.
Subsequent weakest links will be limited to positions and specific players. Most of the time, it will be the former. In special cases, though, we're going to make an exception, singling out underachieving players who are supposed to be having a much bigger impact than they actually are.
Unflattering statistics will be our primary guide. Positions and players that hurt teams in specific areas—in a noticeable way—are up for consideration. Those harming said squads the most, well, they're here.
Now, with that in mind, it's time to invade the pedestal upon which some of the NBA's finest franchises presently sit.
