| LeBron James is looking to dominate the NBA in a way we haven't seen since Michael Jordan's heyday. |
April has arrived. The days are getting longer and, finally, the sun is coming out. This means a lot of things for a lot of people. But for me, it means that it’s NBA Playoff time and an end to a normal sleeping pattern for the next two months.
Unlike the NFL playoffs, in the NBA the cream usually rises to the top. Sure there are a few upsets but with every round having a best of seven series, it’s a lot easier to split the contenders from the pretenders (I had the Baltimore Ravens 9th out of 12 playoff teams for this years Superbowl).
In a best of seven series, team strategies change from game to game and the chances of luck to advance are greatly reduced. For example, in seven games, would you really see Baltimore beating Denver, New England or my 49ers? And yes, by the way, the Superbowl is still a sore point!
With Sky getting a deal to broadcast NBA games this season, basketball is starting to get big once again over this side of the Atlantic for arguably the first time since the Jordan era. But who are the stars of today’s era that may rival the likes of Michael Jordan and a Dennis Rodman? (ok...there is nobody, in any sport today like a Dennis Rodman!)
If you are new to the sport and are looking for a team to follow, you’ve come to the right place to get the low down on what team may suit you to root for.
