The Team to play with on NBA Live or NBA 2K10
Officially the Golden St. Warriors. The combination of Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Corey Maggette, and Stephen Curry make for an exciting time mashing the shoot button. But just like in real-life defense will be null and void. The un-officail pick is based on what happens with Allen Iverson. If he accepts the “unconfirmed” offer the Memphis Grizzlies will be unstoppable on PS3 or 360′ , whichever you prefer. Rudy Gay, OJ Mayo, Marc Gasol, Haseem Thabeet, and “The Anwser” in the starting five is similar to create-a-team.
Most Entertaining Tandem
The paradox of Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest on the same team, makes for some great games. Its like Dennis Rodman and MJ all over again, and that worked out pretty good. Ron Artest isnt as extravagant as Rodman, aside from “the mohawk” but he can definitely go solo from time to time. But Ron knows whose the boss in Laker town, and #24 wont let him forget it.
James Harden for Rookie of the Year(although Blake Griffin will probably win)
The Oklahoma City Thunder are a fortunate orginazation. Betting the franchise on Kevin Durant, The potential of Russell Westbrook, and moving to Oklahoma City, have all been positives for them. The drafting of James Harden might be the step that gets them over the hump. James Harden has a Paul Pierce like presence on the court, you can tell who he is if you are seating in the nose-bleeds. If Harden can steal away the fanfare for another Oklahoma “boy” Blake Griffin he will have a chance. But Griffin is looking like an almost lock for the ROY, and a solid double-double for each game. So we are rooting for James, hope he gets the minutes.
Stephen Curry wins 3pt. Shootout
He has to get invited first but he will get in on popularity alone. The idea of bringing back some excitement to the 3pt. Shootout is needed. Dirk in 06′ and Ray Allen in 01′ were the last “Big” stars to win since Bird in 88′. Jason Kapono, and Daequan Cook, cause fans to get concessions and TV watchers to pick up the remote. Curry is the kind of player the NBA loves to showcase, a good role-model and an exciting player. Like Reggie Miller and Grant Hill combined.
Rise from the Grave-Sacramento Kings
With the addition of Sean May, and the drafting of Tyreke Evans the Kings will definitely win more then 17 games this season. New head coach Paul Westphal will right this ship and at least give the people of Sacramento something to cheer for. Also gotta help the Kings that the mayor of Sacramento Kevin Johnson was once coached by Paul Westphal.
