Unknown -- The Four Rockets (NBA)
Here's my NBA one:

The Four Rockets--Jordan, Drexler, Olajuwon, and Robinson on the Rockets
PoD: The Houston Rockets trade Ralph Sampson to Portland for their first-round draft pick and Clyde Drexler. They manage to turn the first-round draft pick into...Michael Jordan, who, along with Olajuwon and Drexler, form the core of the Houston Rockets. Then, in 1987, the Rockets trade Rodney McCray to the Phoenix Suns for David Robinson...
