Probably hit all 3 on the head right there.

Although the Game 3 Semi vs. the Hawks would rate up there (despite the screwjob).

Anstey would have to be there considering he's won more honors than the rest.

Bullets would have to rate at the top considering their stellar season a few years back. Although the Tigers would have a good say considering they have the majority of the titles this decade too.

The Sydney King's team that won a few titles and threw off the 'violet crumbles' tag should also rate a mention when discussing teams, alongside the Melbourne Tigers and Brisbane Bullets.

Anstey, CJ Bruton, Sam Mackinnon, Shane Heal probably are the contenders...

My team of the decade (All-Aussie):

C: Chris Anstey (MVP, 2 x Sengstock medal, def player, 2 rings)
PF: Matt Neilson (MVP, Sengstock medal, 2 rings)
SF: Sam Mackinnon (MVP, Sengstock medal, def player, 1 ring)
SG: Jason Smith (Sengstock medal, 3 rings?)
PG: Brett Maher (Sengstock medal, 1 ring)

---
Bench:
C: Mark Bradtke (MVP, all time rebounder, 1 ring)
PF: Chris Williams (MVP, Sengstock medal, 1 ring)
SF: Glen Saville (Sengstock medal, def player, 1 ring)
SG: Kirk Penney (MVP)
PG: CJ Bruton (3 rings)

Coach: Brian Goorjian

It hurts me to have to put as many people in that I chose to dislike when they were playing against us, but that is probably just a measure of their worth.

Highly successful role players such as David Stiff and Brett Wheeler are unfortunate to miss in favour of more dominant players. But they deserve a mention for their contribution to so many successful teams.
