I wonder how much Kobe and the Lakers are loving the “LeBron to NY” and “2010 Free Agent” nonsense. It allows them to quietly have the league’s best record while demolishing teams and keeping the large target off their back.
This media hype over something that may or may not happen in 550 days is getting out of hand. It proves how much Americans, or specifically the media, has an attention span of a four year old. Come on! Talk about what’s going on NOW! Here are the amazing stories of the NBA this year:
- Lakers (10-1) and Celtics (12-2) are the League’s two best teams and are more than likely going to meet in the Finals, if they keep up this pace and if they stop LeBron. This will be a repeat Finals and a complete revival of one of sport’s greatest team rivalries. This makes Christmas even more special this year.
- Andris Biedrins is leading the league in rebounding with over 14 per game… 14!!! He’s turned into a legitimate Center who can score (over 16 ppg), rebound and play defense.
- Dwyane Wade is back and maybe better than ever. He’s having a stellar season - second in the league in scoring, fifth in assists, and, get this - he’s averaging 2.5 spg and 2 bpg!!! 2 bpg at 6′4″!!! He’s The Man down in My Hammy (better than Kobe).
- The reemergence of the East. All the people (which is almost EVERYONE on every NBA blog) who said the East sucks, now have to bow down and kiss my feet. The East is the better Conference. They’re winning the head-to-head W/L match-ups. They have better overall records. And, they have 5 of the top 6 teams in the league.
- Dwight Howard’s Orlando. 9-3. Looking like a solid contender. And, The Smile is the reason. He’s the league’s best Center, easily. Second in the League in rebounding, over 21 ppg. And, he leads the league in blocks with 4 per game. He’s a beast. He’s a monster. He’s The Smile.
- The All-Star Danny Granger??? At 24 ppg and the obvious leader in Indiana, Danny Granger is turning into a star. He’s a three point threat with strength and quickness, and he’s only getting better.
- Derrick Rose is the best PG in the East… and he’s a rookie. He’s the best player Chicago has had since Jordan (and Pippen). This guy is lights out amazing. One of the quickest players in the league. And, he’s got a extra step ladder when he elevates. Everyone questioned his shot before the season… his mid-range pull-up is one of his strengths. People said he couldn’t shoot threes… he’s at over .350 and hitting big 3s when it matters. This guy is the real deal. So far, he’s the best rookie, with this guy #2…
- OJ Mayo. Still rough and raw. But, he’s averaging 20 ppg while shooting over 40% from beyond the arc and almost 90% from the charity stripe. When this guy fixes the very few problems he has, he’ll be a top 10 player in the League.
So, you see how there’s plenty of great NBA news besides the LeBron 2010 Sweepstakes. Although that poses interesting scenarios, it’s a LOOOOONG time off and takes away from great stuff happening. PLEASE STOP WRITING ARTICLES ABOUT IT!!!
