The new NBA season is upon us. The time is now for so many young and old NBA talents. There’s so much to do and so much to achieve. As always, some of it will happen and some of it won’t.
Can Kobe Bryant become his own man and step out of Shaq’s still very large shadow?
LeBron James has put himself in a position to become a legend; will he step closer to making that possibility a reality this year?
Dwight Howard may be the best center in the NBA. This needs to be a career year if he’s to start to climb onto that all-time list.
Chris Paul had one of the best seasons in the history of point guards last year. Anything less than a repeat performance this season will be a let down.
Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen want to be remembered as Celtic legends. The only way to become such is by winning several championships. They’ll get their chance this year.
All of this and more is what is possible for this season. Any of that could be added to the NBA history books this year. It seems like every season something happens that becomes a memorable part of NBA history.
Last season the Boston Celtics proved themselves to be a team for the ages in giving the city of Boston another parade.
The season before LeBron James gave one of the greatest playoff performances in NBA history when he decided he’d win a series by himself.
The year before that Dwyane Wade was well, the 2006 version of Dwyane Wade.
The list goes on and on…
Remember Magic Johnson’s baby hook shot?
We all remember “John Havlicek stole the ball!” Even if some of us weren’t even alive.
You can’t pick about a ten dozen moments of the legend that is Michael Jordan. From scoring 63 in the Garden to willing his team to its sixth championship, there are plenty of moments to choose from.
What will happen this year? Something will happen in NBA basketball this year that you’ll never forget. What will it be? Will you be there when it happens?
I don’t want to sound like a commercial, but there’s a reason those NBA commercials are so cheesy. The NBA has so many great moments. Whenever you go into the old nostalgia bag it’s going to seem a little bit cheesy.
Still, the point remains, will you be watching this season when that one special moment happens? Will you be watching when you’re favorite player has one of those amazing games? Will you be there?
Will you?
