The Miami Heat knew this game wasn’t going to be a cakewalk as the Indiana Pacers are known for being gritty and tough.
For the 75th anniversary of the NBA, the league released the Top 75 players that ever played the game. They allowed media, fans, and a few inner employees to vote on who deserves to be on the list. My own list highlights players who not only dominated during their time in the NBA, but also those who helped influence the growth of the league.
The NBA allowed media, fans, and a few inner employees to vote on who deserves to be on their Top 75 list. Our own list highlights players who not only dominated during their time in the league, but those who helped influence the growth of the NBA.
This time, the Miami Heat are the hunters. After the Milwaukee Bucks swept them in last year’s playoffs, the Heat had this game circled on their calendar and were certainly prepared for it.
As the 2021-2022 NBA season is about to enter full swing, we look at the top five picks and what they bring to their teams this season.
Tyler Herro was huge for the Miami Heat during their 2020 playoff run in the bubble. In the first three rounds of the playoffs, Herro averaged 16.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists on 46/38/90 shooting splits.
The Charlotte Hornets are suddenly one of the most exciting young teams in the NBA. Second-year stand-out LaMelo Ball has brought new energy and swagger to the franchise.
The Washington Wizards underwent drastic changes during the offseason with the hopes that Bradley Beal will be around long-term. After finishing last year at just 34-38 it was clear the roster was going to need reconstruction.
The Orlando Magic took a step back during the 2020-21 season after back-to-back playoff berths. It all started in “the bubble”, when Jonathan Isaac tore his meniscus, causing him to miss the entire season.
The Detroit Pistons went into the 2020-2021 NBA season with little expectations after winning only 20 games in the 2019-20 NBA season. Blake Griffin only played in 20 games before both sides agreed on a buyout agreement.
For the 15th season in a row, the Sacramento Kings failed to reach the playoffs, tying the Los Angeles Clippers for the longest NBA playoff drought. While they look to be headed to a 16th straight year, the Kings have promise and can see their bright future start to come to fruition in 2021.
The Houston Rockets spent the 2020-21 NBA season beginning their rebuild. They moved on from head coach Mike D’antoni, general manager Daryl Morey stepped down and franchise cornerstone James Harden was traded.
