ballers life.

the upcoming nba season is sure to be one monstrous season. the beasts from the east will look to dethrone the best from the west. the off season has been one of the busiest recorded in the history of the nba. with 25 free agents headlined by lebron james, there was always a chance of a franchise creating some sort of super powerful team. and boy did we get that. when lebron james uttered the famous words "im taking my talents to South Beach" on his special espn doco, the nba world knew there were special times ahead for the Miami Heat. 2 other free agents, dwayne wade and chris bosh had already committed themselves to Miami and with lebron joining them, they have created the new big 3.

we saw 3 years ago over at Boston a big 3 form and we were in awe as they went on to win the championship that season. but i feel kevin garnett, paul pierce and ray allen arent quite in the same echelon as the new big 3 of james, wade and bosh. we wont have to wait long to see the two big 3's take on each other. the league has given us the mouth watering clash on opening night with boston hosting miami. there is also talks that tracy mcgrady could join the heat team too. if he does put pen to a deal, you can almost GUARANTEE that the heat will take out this year's title. how can kobe halt the free scoring nature of 4 star players. add beasley to the line up and thats 5 very dangerous shooters who are all accountable in defence.

It seems as though the East, when compared to the West, won the battle in the free agency debacle, which means finally, the Eastern Conference may be able to compete in the nba Finals and be a legit contender against the Los Angeles Lakers.

and just a small note about the cleveland cavaliers who have been ripped to shreds over the off season perioid. their fans have seemed to have lost all faith and the playing roster has fallen apart. the team was solely built with bits and pieces players to compliment a superstar. now that the King has vacated his throne, these peasants will simply not be able to handle the rigours of the nba. a city that hasnt had glory for 60 years will also have long term agony from this season onwards. if lebron couldnt win a ring there, what other superstar would go there to try and win one?? Last year, Cleveland had the legendary shaquille o’neal signing to win championships, this year you have iglauskas leaving to win a championship.
