The Heats big 3

After being the laughing stalk of the league more than a few years ago, the Miami now have made moves since then that now give the name as one of the best. The Miami Heat has one NBA title with the help of there superstar Dwayne Wade, and Shaq. Before Winning there 1st title the season before, the Heat won only 20 or so games being the but of the jokes of the league. The next year they got the 3rd pick in the draft. The season after that the got Shaq and won the title the second year after getting him. They were now mentioned as being one of the best teams. The following season the took a blow with the middle of the season injury to Shaq. Without him they seemed not as good. As he returned they got better and seemed to be picking up then the star Wade gets hurt. Then Shaq gets traded. The team goes through 3 bad years before they get their big break. After the 09-10 season is up then theres the biggest free agency the League has seen. The biggest name superstar SF, LeBron James is looking for a new team. Also one of the biggest named named PF post players are looking for a team to take his talents and look for a team to win. The player already a member of the Heat Wade talks Bosh the PF into coming as a 1-2 punch. As the think it over why stop at getting one superstar to join another why not get 3. On the last day, decision day. LeBron James publicly live, annouces he "will take his talents to south beach". After the decision, the next day there jerseys were being sold for there new teams, Time to WIN!!!

Kevin Durant on the rise

The NBA has lots of up and coming stars. The biggest being a 6"10 SG, with a over 7 foot wingspan. He goes by the name of Kevin Durant, of the Oklahoma Thunder. Now in his third season in the league he has several outstanding accomplishments. This following year he accomplished the NBA scoring title and coming in second in voting for league MVP, behind LeBron James. He lead his team to the NBA playoffs and almost defeated the the raining champion Lakers. In the playoffs his team didn't make it out the first round but were in a close series where they were expected to loose and they were actually ahead in the series. With winning the scoring title he became the youngest in NBA history to do. He has a special talent being a exceedingly tall player with the skills of a 6 foot guard. His skills have proven to be top notch!

      He hasn't been able to get overlooked, but not just because of his height, but by his acts of always being in the spotlight. He proved his dominance, and is currently making his name by being a starter on team USA. Last year he didn't make the final cut. To prove his hard work and determination he has moved up in the ranks by being "the man" on the USA team. He lead in scoring and also broke the tournament scoring record.

The salaries..

The salary of professionals are usually determined by if the player is producing, in what they're suppose to be doing. Professionals salary can be a little out rageous but thats for the job their doing. Most the time the best in the game or the best to the team gets paid a lot to stay. Sometimes the player can get paid depending on the kind of name they made. The highest paid salaries at the beginning of last year, were Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady. Tracy Mcgrady which was number one played only 35 out of 82 games due to engery, an is thought of as waisted talent. Theres where having a name made in the nba comes into hand. For years McGrady was in the top of all nba categories, except winning a ring. So when considering salary sometimes how big a players name is will determine that. Kobe which was 2nd earned his salary by being the leader of the championship Lakers. So also like I was saying earlier, producing like leading a championship team also is a big part of determining your salary.
         The youth of a player or the health of player also plays a big role. The younger the player the longer they can play, but also being experienced an a good vet. will also control the salary. With a younger player with different abilities is better than an older player thats just good at setting screens, then the younger player will get paid more. With being a veteren player there comes experience and being wise. So being able to come up with a verteren play in the clutch of the game, or being able to be a wise voice and leader to the team, will get you more money than a player thats good at shooting. The choce of salary as a player ultimately comes down to being a vet, being able to produce in many ways, or being young with qualities, or simply showing with numbers that you deserve all the money you made, or in that case earned!!

Does winning rings determine being a better player?

In the game today a lot of fans, and analysts try to judge the greatness of a player or if they're at certain level based on if their winning rings, or have won a ring. Some Hall of Fame players, some of the best don't have a ring. For example two Hall of Famers Charles Barkely, and Karl Malone didn't win a ring but still considered great in a lot of eyes. People would say that Michael Jordan is the greatest player to play the game. Now thats said for a reason. He dominated in every part of the game. From numerous most valuable player awards, to deffensive player awards, to all teams deffense and offense. To leading his team to 2 different 3 peats, winning 6 nba titles. He proved his leading of the NBA titles by winning the finals MVP several times also. Now with every player comes a teams so he wouldn't have made it without the team, but also the team would be nowhere without his game winning shots, clutch play and eye popping plays.

    So today the talks seems to be that Kobe Bryant 4 time NBA champion, is the best player. Theres alot of big names that have reason to feel otherwise. Now best player in my opinion, is either LeBron James or Dwayne Wade. I believe without the best player the team would be nothing. The Los Angeles Lakers, the team Kobe Bryant plays for, is a good TEAM! Now some confuse that with being the best player. I think the best player player has the best stats, and their team couldn't win without. Its been proven that the teams, that Lebron James, and Dwayne Wade play for can't function without them. So i'm saying the best PLAYER, is the most valuabe to their team, and has the best statistics. Not how many rings you win, although that is important. So in closing D-Wade or LeBron is the best as of now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
