Out With The Old NBA
For three decades,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Lakers and the Celtics ruled the NBA: Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. All of them donned either gold or green,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], winning virtually every NBA championship possible in the process. Bird versus Magic dominated much of the 1980s. The NBA was a two-team league of stars.
However, the NBA has grown into more than just the Lakers and the Celtics. The likes of Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and Steve Nash have become the cornerstones of NBA franchises. Like Bird and Magic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these stars became synonymous with their respective teams.
Here the problem: These guys made a name for themselves in the early 2000s, however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the NBA still hypes KG, Duncan and Nash as the huge stars to watch on TV in 2010.
Guess what? Those guys are getting old. They aren going to lead their respective teams to an NBA championship.
Yes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Nash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Duncan and company have done wonders for the league,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it time to focus on a new crop of players and give them the attention they deserve. They ain half bad themselves.
The roster turnover In the days of the Lakers and the Celtics, the NBA was about teams.
Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it about individual players,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the roster turnover shows just that.
When Red Auerbach coached the Celtics in the 1960s, the team added a total of 11 non-rookies in the span of them winning eight straight NBA championships. Jones and Sam Jones each won eight titles with the Celtics. Nearly anyone who played with the Celts in the left with multiple championships.
Compare Auerbach Celtics to LeBron James Cleveland Cavaliers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who have rid themselves of each of the 21 players they had on their 2003-2004 roster not named LeBron. He that good. Any time you hear someone jumper compared to George Gervin silky smooth shot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you pay attention. Durant,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nicknamed the for his near 7-foot-5 wingspan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rightfully earned the reputation with his ability to drain a shot from anywhere on the floor -- including 30-foot three-pointers.
Derrick Rose: The No. 1 pick of 2008,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the hometown heir apparent to Jordan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Rose is an electric dribble-drive point guard that can bully most NBA guards defensively. He lit up the league last season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], won rookie of the year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and blew up the league this past December and January to earn his first All-Star selection in his sophomore season.
Tyreke Evans: Speaking of heir apparent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was the heir apparent to Rose at Memphis, once Rose bolted for the NBA after his freshman year. Sacramento selected Evans fourth overall this past season, and he currently threatening to become only the fourth rookie in NBA history to average 20 points, five rebounds and five assists per game (along with Oscar Robertson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan -- not bad company).
Plus, Brandon Roy, Brook Lopez, Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Russell Westbrook -- the list of young talent goes on.
