Who to Love

Every true sports fan has their favorite teams or athletes in every sport, it keeps us interested to pick a side. Well I have been living these past few years somehow with a favorite team in on of the major sports...the NBA. I've never been a big fan of the NBA, at least not the like MLB or NFL. I'm crazy about hockey but I do love the Red Wings because really who else is there to like, nobody thats who and Detroit is representing my homestate. MLB I love the Cubs thanks to my cousin Mike and when I was little there was the great home run race of 1998 between Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa, I liked Sosa's salute after every home run into the WGN camera. My dad liked the Dolphins told me his favorite team ever was the 72' undefeated team and Dan Marino is favorite player of all-time.

So it's bout that time I decided what team should be my favorite team in the NBA so I narrowed down the league to 12 possible contendors for my basketball heart.

New York Knicks: They just pulled off a deal giving them a lineup headlined by Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudimire and Chauncey Billups that sounds good to me.

Chicago Bulls: I like Carlos Boozer and I liked Joahkim Noah when he was at Florida and Derrick Rose is fun to watch, they are in contention.

Detroit Pistons: Homestate Bad Boys attitude, Tayshaun Prince and Big Ben Wallace along with Stuckey they got a lot going.

Atlanta Hawks: Once bad now good, Joe Johnson and Al Horford can be fun to watch, why not Atlanta.

Orlando Magic: Dwight Howard is entertaining and I like Hedu Turkoglu and Jameer Nelson. Can't forget about downtown JJ Reddick. Magic look good.

Utah Jazz: Deron Williams, Mehmet Okur, Andrei Kirelinko and Al Jefferson. Anybody remember when Raja Bell got in Kobe's grill once apon a time. They could be fun to root for, I'm looking at you Hicks.

Portland Trail Blazers: Brandon Roy is good and not talked about too much, along with LaMarcus Aldridge and Rudy Fernandez, what if Oden wasnt hurt all the time, who knows maybe this is my team.

Oklahoma City Thunder: There are new and they are pretty good, gave the Lakers a run last season, along with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, liked seeing Serge Ibaka in the dunk contest, looks good!

San Antonio Spurs: Fundamentals Tim Duncan, Manu Ginoblli and Tony Parker win year in and year out and never disappoint, it could be easy to like a team like that.

New Orleans Hornets: CP3 Chris Paul gotta love it! Along with David West and Emeka Okafur I could get used to green and purple.

Dallas Mavericks: Dirk, Peja, Jason Terry, Kidd and Shawn Marion. Not to forget an owner who wanted to be the owner of the Cubs, he is fan maybe I should be too.

Los Angeles Clippers: Blake Griffin's dunks every game and is the definition of young talent, Baron Davis is a solid player, lets not forget CMU's own Chris Kamen, maybe, they arent that good now but they are young.

So who is it going to be, we'll see!
