Yeah, baby. We waited all summer for this night to arrive, and the fun doesn’t end until the middle of June … at which time the fun begins anew with the strongest draft class since 2003 and the most star-studded free agent market since 2010. In the meantime, can the Miami Heat “three-peat?” Who is their strongest challenger — Brooklyn? Indiana? Chicago? And how will again Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett be different this season — other than having “Brooklyn” or “Boston” written across

The days of being the absolute laughingstock of the league and not giving a hoot, as long as he was saving

This can make the product much more desirable. It can even make a product seem necessary. Nike has produced some great commercials in their time—including the Mars Blackmon campaign (starring Spike Lee and Michael Jordan) for the Nike Air Jordans, among many other great ads.

The NBA regular season finally begins this week, and numerous major publications have put out their preseason predictions and prognostications. Few, picks, if any, are usually bold or daring. Most are run-of-the-mill status quo predictions for the coming season. (Although we have a wide variety of semi-safe picks here at SheridanHoops in our season preview special.) Miami will win another NBA title, with LeBron James as MVP. San Antonio and Oklahoma City will be the top teams in the West. Maybe Houston
