If you don't know this, it's clear that not only do you not watch the NBA on a regular basis, you don't attend the games, either.

USA basketball is stronger and more talented than it's ever been in history. Throw in the strong contingent of international players and you're looking at the most talented the league's ever been.

Absolutely this.

Stan Van Gundy available.

Probably Qx10.

But you see the veterans want to play with vets, the guys in their late twenties (27 to 30) all want to play together, and the real young guys coming up are all building bonds.

But teams like the Magic, Wizards, Suns, etc. There isnt a good ****ing player on any of these markets. Face of your franchise is Michael Beasley? John Wall? JJ Reddick?

those guys are not good by any stretch when you are comparing guys in the 80s and 90s that were the face of a market.

How is that any different from the 80s and 90s? Back then, only the Bulls, Lakers, Celtics, and Pistons could win a title. All the other teams were SOL. Just like now with the Lakers, Heat, Thunder, and Celtics.

Nothing is as good as it was in the good 'ole days. Don't cha know that?

So Mike Brown got fired after just 5 games into a 82 game season with a 1-4 record.

To equate that to the Chiefs is that Romeo would have been fired at HALFTIME of the Chiefs FIRST GAME!!!!

HAHAHAHA

The Detroit Pistons are what 90's basketball was.

Old dudes were pretty damn good too and played more as a team. Dr. J still has the most beautiful athletic dunks ever made in any time period, period.

but there are other teams that are really good and could actually compete Memphis proved itthe last few years. Along with the Spurs, say what you want, but Pop has 4 titles and a very good team. When the bulls get D. Rose back, they are going to be up there. You got up and coming teams like New York/Brooklyn. Philly should be good once Bynum comes back. There are talented teams out there. Portland got some great young players as does Houston.

A few teams draft and get some good free agent signings they will be able to compete. NOt saying they will win, but alot of teams that could compete.

Also, remember a few years ago there were like 8 teams in the west that had 50 game winning teams, something never done before. NBA is crazy loaded.

I agree with you, but I meant the teams with a legit chance of winning the title. Outside the spurs, no other team is going to challenge the top 4.

its actually the 4th quarter. they had it on espn a bit ago.

When something isnt getting better they made the move. The Chiefs should do the same, they were supposed to be contenders and somehow they are the worst team in the NFL with some good talent in some key area's.

Clark needs to do the right thing. Chiefs in year 4 should be on the up and up instead they are 1 line jokes for every football personality in media.

Not this year, but them teams are young and have a chance to do that in the next few years. Thats like that pretty much for any league though. There are just elite franchises that do the right moves, then you got teams like the Chiefs and Bobcats that make the wrong choices year in and year out.

lol Mike Brown

I'm still not sure why they didn't get rid of him in the offseason.

It is no different. Championships have always been controlled by a few select franchises. That certainly hasn't hurt the NBA game from being in as good shape as it has ever been right now.
