AR Factor Quote

I know that it’s very early in the season, but it’s never too early to begin an exciting conversation that can get basketball lovers going back and forth for hours. It’s a simple question, but the answer is never so easy. Who is the best team in the NBA this season?

As I write this, we’re only a couple of weeks into the season. Many would say that we haven’t seen enough basketball to make this determination, but I’m going to go out on a limb with a few proclamations that I do believe will hold true at the end of the season. Let’s see if I’m right.

All due respect to some of the players that I’m about to put down, but I’m simply stating my opinions here. I believe that a player can be great on paper, and possibly a great fit for certain teams, but there are three players who’ve all flocked to elite teams this season, and I believe that none of them are the types of players who win their teams games. In fact, I believe just the opposite.

Ron Artest has gone to the Lakers. Sure, he’s a great defensive player and he’s incredibly talented, but I just don’t think he’s a team player.

He’s gone from team to team in the NBA and never seems to find a home where he’s loved. LA took a chance with him and I’m not sure that I agree with the move.

As far as the Cavs go, Shaq is a different situation than the chemistry issues that Ron Artest may pose. His teammates will most likely love him. As far as the impact he has on the team goes, however, I’m not so sure that it’s a good one. He’s big and slow, and I think he’s mixing things up too much.

With the Magic, I’m just not a fan of Vince Carter. I loved him during the earlier part of the decade, but I think that his best days were behind him and I do think that Hedo Turkoglu was a better fit for the team.

The only team that I believe got it right was Boston. Having acquired veteran All-Star Rasheed Wallace, I think he blends in perfectly with the Celtics, and I’m not surprised to see that they’ve won their first six games.
