SLN Team Stat Records 1996-2024

[Merv]

I still need RP and I'm on a high from watching Cory Joseph stand in the corner as an elite SF and PF led the Magic to a playoff win tonight! I thought what could be interesting analysis that hasn't been done in a while. After sorting through about 10 pages of articles [the old content was the best content] I noticed we had a lot of best individual seasons but not a ton of team stuff. So let's do the top 10 all-time in a variety of statistical categories which should be useful long-term as a reference guide. For teams that lead in a category, I'll list their 5 highest players in MPG. RIP 1998. Won SLN Championship
