Anyone in the Football Community follow NBA. I personally really like the NBA followed when I was younger, Magic team with Shaq and Penny was my favourite and MJ was the man. Phoenix the team I currently follow but its hard to have 'a team' as there aint much loyalty.

Picks to win whole thing

Eastern - Cleveland - Detroit
Western - Dallas - Phoenix

NBA Champion - Dallas - Cleveland

Dallas Champions

Anyone else play fantasy NBA got a 1st and a 2nd in Yahoo! sports one.

Tough one to pick Dallas got beaten again may need to revise my picks, Bulls playing real well shutting down Dwyane Wade. I have a feeling Lebron will do a DWade and take over games. Phoenix are great to watch and so are Golden State and they are both winning their respective playoffs at the moment. I'd like to see SA Spurs get kicked out so boring and methodical, I liked Denver with Miller better than with AI.

Detroit - Chicago            Cleveland - New Jersey

Golden State - Utah        Phoenix - San Antonio

Cavs will be champions. Le Bron James is a frickin legend. The best in the league.

Orlando aren't very good, with Hill most likely leaving they are going to be worse

Spurs look like they should win it all again, Neutrals going for Cavs because they atleast a little entertaining compared to the rest. LeBron really needs to takeover like Kobe/MJ for them to have a chance. Parker and Duncan are nearly unstoppable. Not to mention Manu coming to form.

TrailBlazers basically got Oden with No1 pick, Oden supposed to be the new David Robinson at best and at worst a player like Dwight Howard or Emeka Okafor. Seattle have to go for Durrant whos suppose to be a more athletic Dirk Nowitzki.

Looks like Newley will get drafted, maybe Craig Bradshaw could but unlikely hes a top 50 senior player, so last year to enter draft, and there still are freshmen sophmores and juniors to consider. not to mention internationals and only 60 players drafted. But you never know could have a good work out, but players don't really come out of nowhere. but hes on the radar.

I have to disagree hockey is incredibly hard to follow, goals are hard to see and skill is hard to distinguish. NBA is extremely exciting, best athletes bar none. Pity about so many stoppages but thats the same with all American sport.

Finals are gonna be exciting. Spurs will be odds on favourites but I reckon the Cavs will cause an upset.
 
As I stated previously - Le Bron James is a frickin legend!

before i go on this rant i just wanna say that it's cool that some people just dont enjoy hockey. that doesnt bug me. to each his own. the last thing i wanna do is be like the idiots who run the National Hockey League and jam it down the throats of people who really have no interest.

but when people say hockey is hard to follow... and the goals are hard to see... it just confuses the hell out of me. honestly, is your eye sight that horrible? are glasses not working for ya? because even when i've had a dozen bottles of beer... i can still understand whats going on.

if you're 80 years old... i can't blame you for getting confused with hockey. but if you're younger... PLEASE... invest in a pair of glasses at the very least. you might be surprised.

also it's the only sport where the players dont slap eachother when they get pissed off..... they drop the gloves and actually FIGHT eachother.... respect.

Ok I know it is 'your sport' and all and I can see that you like it passionately, because how defensive you are getting, but many times I have seen hockey matches, scrambles happen in and around the goal area and you can't tell if it has gone in or not only by the flashing light, sometimes a long range shot goes in and it just looks like the goalie saved it because its going at a hide speed and comes back out. Maybe I need to watch more NHL.

You should be grateful that they don't play cricket in your country.
 
P.S. My eyesight must be that horrible too.
