There's no 'I' in 'TEAM'.

With the NBA Playoffs underway, I wouldn't be surprised to be watching the rematch of the Spurs and the Pistons battle it out in the finals early June. My confidence has grown over the past regular season as both teams not only have the stars, but the vital supporting team players to keep them in check.

Bball hasn't been this exciting since Jordan left the scene (the 2nd time), with younger talent seeking superstar status such the likes that of Wade, Iverson, and McGrady. But will any of these idols ever be crowned as champions? Is it possible that King LeBron James, even with all his Nike endorsements and Sprite commercials, will be able to reign supreme without a solid team to back him up?

Even mighty Jordan, with all his power and dominance, needed help from Pippin, Kerr, Kukoc, and of course, Rodman. Unfortunately, a key lesson harshly learned by Kobe. Being crowned scoring champion is great, but I'm convinced that if it wasn't for the breakup with O'Neal, the Lakers would still own the rock.
