    Can't argue with your list. I might toss some honorable mentions to 'The Fab Five', Denver's 'Orange Crush' defense, the Dolphins' 'No-Name Defense', The L.A Rams' 'Fearsome Foursome', the Jets' 'New York Sack Exchange', the Cowboys' 'Doomsday Defense', Montreal Canadiens' 'Flying Frenchmen', Philadelphia's 'Broadstreet Bullies' and their 'Legion of Doom' line of—Eric Lindros, John LeClair and Mikael Renberg, the Redskins' 'Fun Bunch' and the Chargers' 'Air Coryell'.

    Great post! Love hearing about the best mascots. Some people hate them, but I always enjoy what they bring to the game. Pretty athletic what they do out there too! I found a fun ranking of all the mascots of the NBA and decided to search for more on them. That’s how I found yours. Thanks for the post! Loved it. Here’s the ranking I stumbled upon if you’re interested: http://www.tchuddle.com/2011/03/happy-birthday-crunch/

    The Fab Five - was the nickname for a 1991 University of Michigan men's basketball team recruitment class that is considered to by some to be "the greatest class ever recruited." The class consisted of Detroit natives Chris Webber and Jalen Rose, Chicago native Juwan Howard, and Texas high school stars Jimmy King and Ray Jackson.[1] They reached the 1992 and 1993 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship games as both freshmen and sophomores, while starting a combined 304 of a possible 350 man-games.
