So back on the topic of basketball, I decided to do a versus article of Carrot’s and my favorite NBA teams. The Minnesota Timberwolves (My team) and the Detroit Pistons( Carrot’s team), but instead of current teams, I am doing an all time versus of our two teams.
For the Timberwolves I would put these 5 at the top (no particular order)
- Kevin Garnett
- Karl-Anthony Towns
- Anthony Edwards
- Kevin Love
- Sam Cassell
I would say this is a very strong offensive group from inside scoring to the three point shooting. This is also a good mix of some old school and new school basketball so that mix of both could be a good combos on the court. These players are all also great team first oriented players so lots of passing to score.
Next is the Pistons( No particular order)
- Isiah Thomas
- Joe Dumars
- Bill Laimbeer
- Ben Wallace
- Chauncey Billups
This is a very very strong group in my opinion offensively and defensively. You have strong old school inside posts and undeniable outside shooters. With this group you also have a great mix of old school and a little 2000’s new school. This would be one of the toughest five to play against no matter who you are.
Now when it comes to the top 5 Pistons vs the top 5 Timberwolves that would be a great game. The matchups down low with all the defense in the game would be awesome. The outside shooting from both teams would be like a 3-point shootout contest. I would pay to see this game any day of the week.
It would be bringing back the beautiful sport of basketball that Carrot and I fell in love with.
As a Timberwolves fan, it hurts me to say this but that championship experience and caliber team that top 5 Pistons have is undeniable. Out of a best of seven game series I have Pistons in 7.
I hope you enjoyed this article!


That is a pretty strong Pistons team. With no contest on #1.
