No way the biggest upset is anything but Golden State over Dallas. The Pistons over the Lakers wasn't that big an upset--the Pistons went to 6 conference finals in a row, they were no fluke. Plus that Lakers team was overrated. Big issues with Shaq and Kobe and the Malone/Payton moves weren't as good a moves as anyone thought they'd be.

Team - 2000 Lakers, 2003 Spurs, 2004 Pistons
Upset - Golden State over Dallas, The Lakers beating the Pistons in 04 would have been an upset since they were manhandled in that series for the most part
Champion - Spurs
Runner Up - Pistons
Offensive Player - Kobe Bryant
Defensive Player - Ben Wallace
Overall Player - Tim Duncan
Coach - Greg Popovich
Rookie - Lebron
Rebounder - Ben Wallace
Thief - Jason Kidd

I'm not going into heavy detail, but the 2001 Lakers are being overlooked, here. They went 15-1 in the Playoffs by bulldozing teams. Talk about domination!

Team - Lakers with Spurs 2nd
Bench - Portland is first to my mind during the year they lost to LA
Upset - Knicks to the Finals if it was in this decade; if not G.State over Dallas
Champion - 2001 Lakers
Runner-up - Pistons
Offensive Player - Kobe Bryant
Defensive Player - Ron Artest/Ben Wallace
Overall Player - Kobe Bryant
Coach - Phil Jackson
Rookie - LeBron James
Rebounder - Kevin Garnett
Assist man - Steve Nash
Thief (steals) - Chris Paul
