Growth and $$$ was inevitable, and people want to see the players I named above. It's all about the players.
As a UW Husky fan I hate to say this but if anyone/anything can take credit, it's Nike.
i continue to agree with you in this the NBA thread.

Perhaps he was saying other things throughout the game. It doesn't excuse what he did, but there has to be more to the story.

All of this Lebron/NBA Mount Rushmore talk has me thinking about the question...
Who should be on the NBA's Mount Rushmore?
My picks...
Jordan
Russell
Magic
Bird
Wilt and Kareem are next in line...

Add Red Auerbach to that list:
-Invented the fast break and the true concept of "team defense."
-Started the first five black players, breaking down color barriers.
-And on and on.
