Deadlift
Hall of Famer
Much could be said here about the largely "talent-less" NBA. Much can be said about the NBA's stubborn attempts to give the "impression" that the quality of play is higher than it really is.
To the layman, the watered-down NBA may be even easier to notice than the water-downed NFL. A significant portion of NBA teams downright SUCK, and this reality has become harder to conceal.
Last Year's NBA Standings:
http://www.sportsline.com/nba/standings
#1 - Does anyone else remember ESPN pimping the Portland Trailblazers' and all of their young black players? They were called the "Baby Blazers."
Well, the Sacramento Kings, a team with some young White talent, finished the season with a very similar record. And, Spencer Hawes missed some of the season and he started getting more minutes toward the end of last season. This team might be better next year.
Portland will probably have Greg Oden next season, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Blazers' are mired in chemistry problems.
#2 - The Whiter Indiana Pacers' outperformed a handful of teams in the East. The New York Knicks' could only DREAM of the season the Pacers' had!! The Pacers' were so close to making the playoffs, and they SHOULD have made it. Now they are darker, but, of course, they could make the playoffs next season in the weak East.
#3 - The Washington Wizards' have given "super-super-super-super-super-superstarrrrrrrrrr" money to Gilbert Arenas who, aside from being overrated, has been quite injury prone. I would say that he could help a team that already has stars, but he can never be "the man." He can't lead them "over the hump" -- so to speak.
But, he mu mu must be SUPERMAN because.... why else are they throwing ridiculous amounts of money at him?? If there really was "more talent" -- I don't think we would be seeing these types of desperation moves.
Bottom Line: I'm glad he remained in DC because I could care less about the Wizzzz, YAWN....
