| Well, seeing as how all the other sports have been mentioned, what's left of USA's main sports is Basketball. So, I'm pretty sure Celtics are going to Playoffs again, but I doubt they'll be back-to-back champions.  | |

| Can't say I follow basketball at all but I used to say I was a Nets fan because they played out of New Jersey.  | |

Stole this from the MLB thread. =]
Although it's nice to see Bosh on the Olympic team and dominating. | |

| Toronto was beasting when they had the well-known Vince Carter, at least Toronto was left with memories of Carter's legend.  Nets are stuck with his 360-degree layups now, he's not as active in the air as he use to be now. | |

| Vinsanity known as Air-Canada?  Hm, never heard of that nick-name before. Anyways, he should've stuck around and wait for Bosh! If he stayed, him and Bosh as of now would be beasting out on the court, along with Jermain O'neil now! | |

| Not quite sure about that, but Sacramento King is my hometown team, and we haven't had any superstar for awhile now... I guess Kevin Martin can be considered a Star, but no SuperStar, at least Carter was. | |

| I remember when the Kings were right up there with the Lakers. The Lakers were awesome with Fox, Fisher, Shaq and Kobe but the Kings had their own lineup of superstars with Divac, Webber, Bibby and that dude that always hit the 3-pointers (forget his name; something European). | |

| Peja, still can't remember his last name, but he was great. That was a great team, and I will remember year 2002, how the refs cheated.
At:
C - Divac
PF - Webber
SF - Peja
SG - Doug Christie
PG - Mike Bibby
Which reminds me, Bobby Jackson is coming back to Kings, as Kings would lose Artest. | |

| Eh, I stick to EA's NBA Live games. Still slammin' on everybody with Carter. IMO, he was a better dunker than even Jordan.  | |

| I have to admit, Carter was more creative with his dunks. I had a poster of him in my room of him doing the under the leg dunk. | |

| He was way creative, I love every single of his dunk in the 2000 Slam Dunk contest. | |

| But those times are gone. I miss the 2000's or so when it was all about the Lakers but there were still some huge names scattered across the league like Allen at the Sonics, Finly at the Mav's and so on... | |

| Well, currently, the teams are either stacked with veterans, or stacked with young and/or rookie players. Then again, there are just those teams who have no idea what they're doing, *ahem* Kings. I think they should start aiming for new, and good players, but then they get Jackson back. I'm not downing on him, but if he said it himself, he's going to retire to coach in a couple of years. | |

| Well, whatever he does, that's his choice, but what is the team doing? If there were going to lose Artest, maybe bring in some decent young players, a new team of young players who will step it up later. Kevin Matin certainly is helping, need more though.  | |
