The 2012-2013 NBA Thread: How are the Pacers doing, Ern?

Leave it to Kevin Durant to explain...

I'm just liking Lebron more and more

Lebron: Wrong to base "greatness" on titles

"(Jordan) said he would take Kobe over me because ... five rings are better than one, and the last time he checked, five is better than one," James said. "At the end of the day, rings don't always define someone's career. If that's the case, then I'd sit up here and say I would take (Bill) Russell over Jordan. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't take Russell over Jordan. Russell has 11 rings, Jordan has six. I wouldn't do that."

and

"Jud Buechler has multiple rings. Charles Barkley doesn't have one ring. He's not better than Charles Barkely," James said of Buechler, who won titles alongside Jordan with the Bulls in the late 1990s. "Patrick Ewing is one of the greatest of all time. Reggie Miller is one of the greatest of all time. Sometimes, it's the situation you're in, the team you're (on) and the timing as well."

Amazing how many people can't grasp these simple concepts.
 
And couple years ago, I was in the Bryant camp when the conversation came up. Now? I'm not even sure there is a conversation. I consider myself very lucky to have seen James play live a couple weeks ago.
 
Wowza!!  Terrence Ross wins NBA All Star game Slam Dunk contest. 

And, to top it all off, he even wore a #15 Raptors Vince Carter jersey at one point.  (who hasn't forgotten the "Vin- sanity" when Carter himself was a Slam Dunk winner back then).

That last slam dunk-er by Ross was a gem!

Lakers owner Jerry Buss died today.

In his 32 years of owning the team, they made the NBA Finals 16 times.

That is an amazing stat.
 
Well, it looks like the trade deadline came and went with out much happening. JJ Redick to the Bucks looks to be the biggest deal of the day.
 
I don't think I've a dunk that better epitomizes 'Highlight Reel Dunk'.

After their disastrous start the Lakers are back in a playoff position after today's win over the Bulls. Realistically they could finish as high as 6th and figure to be a tricky first round opponent for anyone.
 
Amir Johnson with 21 rebounds last night in a win over the Bobcats.

Funny, Raps seem to win alot more without Bargnani in the lineup.
 
Well, in the wheel of name changes, the Kings won't become the Sonics, the Hornets will become the Pelicans and the Bobcats will become the Hornets.

And, somehow, the Raptors remain the Raptors.

Are they going back to the cartoony blue Hornet?

They haven't announced anything officially, just that they're exploring it but given as everyone in the world wants them to and everyone hates the Bobcats...I'm calling it right now. Plus, it will give them the chance to sell these again:

After the saga that saw the Sacramento Kings get sold to local ownership instead of the Hansen/Ballmer group in Seattle, there are rumblings that there might be an expansion team headed to the Emerald City. This brings up an interesting situation. The NBA currently has 30 teams, you would have to expect that if expansion comes to Seattle, then there would be 1 more team added for the sake of divisional and scheduling balance. Now where would you place that team? No markets really jump out to me.
