Don, Don, Don…what to do with Don? After a shaky start in this league, where he produced just two winning seasons in his first five years and zero playoff wins, he actually had one of the most productive runs over an eight-year period. He attended the postseason party eight straight years (2004-2011), becoming the first person to do that.
During that span, he produced two of the luckiest championships in league history (both as a low scoring 7-seed in 2006 and 2008). He also managed to earn both a top-seed (2005) and scoring crown (2007), becoming just the third person to have a career triple crown (five have now done it).
Yet, since 2007, he’s really been the worst team in the league. He’s missed the playoffs for four straight seasons, failing in five of the last seven years, producing a single winning season (2018). He’s won just one playoff game in that span (last year). He’s now last in scoring, averaging just 1,215 points per game and only 10th in winning percentage. Yet, because of those two titles and that solid 8-year playoff run, I can’t in good conscience drop him below his son and Jeff in the career rankings.
