For once I'm actually excited for the upcoming season, for the past 3 or 4, the playoffs were semi-exciting yet were kind of predictable.
Now a whole bunch of players are now wearing jerseys that they weren't wearing last year, everything's been mixed up.
Shaq is playing in the east. How scary is that? Could you have even imagined this?
Yao vs. Shaq in the all-star game? Amazing.
I think that an age limit is obviously the issue that could be discussed for ages, on the one hand, the NCAA would probably get fed quality talent, and I would probably tune in before the sweet 16, on the other, we wouldn't have been blessed with the likes of KG, Kobe, LeBron, and the like.
It seems to still be alright that the players have the choice whether or not to go pro straight from high school, because they do realize that if they aren't good enough they should go to play college ball, and develop.
I mean, isn't anyone else excited with all of the trades that have gone down in the league? Forget about the youngsters for a second and actually think... Phoenix is good again. Houston got a face lift, Orlando had an amazing draft and also have a solid backcourt. etc. etc.
*shrugs* I'm excited.
