I am a BIG basketball fan and am excited to know that the NBA season will officially start on October 26th. This past summer, the Basketball Association has been shaken up with the free agent circuit. There were many free agents whose decision would greatly influence teams, coaches, general managers, and fans. Most notably, Lebron James was the biggest athlete whose decision would affect many people close to him. Even with the whole Lebron James signing to Miami Heat and joining the proclaimed "Big Three," which includes Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and James this season will be full of great teams to watch. Not to mention that the Lakers are still the world champions and will always be my favorite team, might I add. Nonetheless, this season will be very exciting to watch. Many people around the league and commentators have coined the Miami Heat to win the NBA championship next year. I'm not the least bit surprised because there is a great amount of talent on that team but they still have some other good teams to get through. The Orlando Magic has always been a solid team and has made the Eastern Conference Finals twice in 2009 and 2010. Let's not forget about the Celtics who are the Eastern Conference champions and made it a seven game series in the finals, to become short in the end. There are also some other good teams, such as the Chicago Bulls who were really successful in the off season, as well as the Atlanta Hawks. With that said, the Lakers are still the champions and are the favorite to win, in my opinion. I absolutely can't wait for the season to start. I get a chance to cheer for my favorite teams and boo my least favorite. There's nothing like the adrenaline rush that a person gets when watching a basketball game, especially when the game is close.
