Comments on: 20 Reasons To Start Watching The NBA http://www.reclinergm.com/20-reasons-to-start-watching-the-nba/ Philly sports blog for diehard Sixers & Phillies fans Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:10:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Strength http://www.reclinergm.com/20-reasons-to-start-watching-the-nba/#comment-19107 Strength Sun, 02 Aug 2009 19:42:42 +0000 http://www.reclinergm.com/?p=42#comment-19107 Nice write-up, you won't find any arguments from me but most 90's enthusiasts will disagree with you but I'm completely on your side. Another thing to look at is the level of NBA talent the Redeem Team played against compared to the level of NBA talent the Dream Team played against. The Dream Team played against Detlef Shcrimp Toni Kukoc and Sabonis.  -- that was pretty much it. The Redeem team played against Pau Gasol Marc Gasol Yao Ming Rudy Fernandez Rubio Dirk Luis Scola Oberto Ginobli (had he not been injured). France could have made a great team as well built around Parker Pietrus Diaw Turiaf. I think the NBA is remarkably talented. When has an NBA ever had playoff seeds 1 through 8 with 50+ wins? This is all the while expanding to 30 teams expanding to 15 man rosters from 12 and expanding to create the NBDL and at the same time creating the age restriction.
