2004-2005 Season in Review
Plus:
-Emeka Okafor, Brent Barry, and other humble players
-Fishing, hunting, country, and Brad Miller, as opposed to clubbin', drugs, hip hop, and bling (note: I do enjoy selected hip hop)
-Emergence of international players such as Yao, Manu, and Dirk
-The effort of the Charlotte Bobcats
-The young but respectable Chicago Bulls
-The obvious consequences of Kobe's selfishness
-The proposal of an age limit (keep the kids in school; education makes people)
-The absence of Phil Jackson
-Coaches such as Scott Skiles, Mike Fratello, Rick Carlisle, and George Karl
-The career of Reggie Miller
Minus:
-Bullcrap effort by the USA Olympic team; lame excuses to avoid participation
-The NBA's reduction to just a part of hip hop culture
-Bandwagon buzz, like the buzz on the Suns, Dwayne Wade, Sonics, and Heat
-"Analysts" who have lips attached to players' behinds
-Bling bling and rims in the NBA

-The Pistons getting no respect at all (playoff games relegated to NBA TV)
-Detroit fans
-Drugs
-Baron Davis, TMac, VC, Carmelo, Carlos Arroyo, and other players who only give 50% while taking millions of dollars
