here's something that's more surprising ... carmelo anthony is #1 in scoring ? after going through world championships, and practically having to salvage the team when they couldn't find the points ? that's not supposed to happen. unfortunately, i think melo is going to break down soon, and go down with a season injury, because of the brutal schedule over the break for him.

Melo was probably the best player on Team USA actually. He's an offensive force and a pretty good leader. It started off Lebron and Melo, then became Wade and Lebron, and now it's becoming more of the big 3. Although I think Bosh deserves recognition up there as well from that SICK draft!

I'm hoping this upcoming draft is as strong, as long as Durant and Oden come out. One more great pick for the Blazers and they will be rising again!!

The Least is garbage but Orlando does have Man Beast Dwight Howard! Within a year or two, Howard will be the next prototypical center. A little more agile then guys like SNaq or Ewing, etc.

Ewing is probably the last "true" center (until Yao came along) in the league that actually knew how to play his position. he didn't win any rings because he got screwed by hakeem, jordan, reggie, and tim-mah! . I liked Ewing's style. he always tried to motivate his team, and never gave up on plays. right now, ewing can probably play some games with some teams at the moment, because quite frankly, the center position is very lacking. things may change with the emergence of howard,bosh, elson, bierdenis, and okafor.

Howard has come a long way since his rookie year and Darko is becoming decent defensive presence. Chris Bosh doesn't get the run that he deserves,most underrated of the young big men

Defense is over-rated
Crazy game between the Nets and Suns
Tied at 133-133 at the end of regulation
Suns win in 2 OT, 161-157

Definitely, I was watching this game on YES and it was one of the more entertaining NBA games I've seen in quite awhile. Just back and forth including a long 3 pointer by Nash with a few seconds to send it into overtime.

Jason Kidd had 38 pts, 14 assists, and 14 rebs. Pretty decent game...Nash could only muster up 42 pts and 14 assists.

ai and kg...that's not bad, but they are in the west. they have to go through spurs, dallas, and houston if they want a shot at the title.

its gonna be tough for them to win their first championship. and they better do it fast, AI will be 32 next year
