The NBA is back and many storylines are going to be answered. The Chicago Bulls with Derrick Rose has been great, after coming off two years with major knee injuries. Also, LeBron James will debut against the New York Knicks, for James and his return to the Clevland Cavaliers is much anticipated and I look forward to molding a new big 3 with Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving. This season will be a test for the Cavs and they are the favorites to win the title. As for the Western Conference and the San Antonio Spurs, they won their season opener against the Dallas Mavericks. The Spurs recieved their championship rings from defeating the Miami Heat under LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh from a potential 3rd championship in a row. In addition, Kobe Bryant has returned to the Lakers and hopes to put them in playoff contention. Overall, the NBA looks great and can't wait for the season to unfold.
