Which is the best/biggest story line in the NBA this season?

*No space on the poll for these choices;

Celtics 60+ win season

Kobe winning his first MVP, Lakers romping in the west.

Durant, a superstar is born?

If you are counting the playoffs, then I'll get back to you on what might be the biggest story this season tomorrow night

Kobe's wild summer then the Lakers being good and getting Gasol for sure.

How about Seattle losing the Sonics? That seems pretty big to me.

the rox 22 streak was the most surprising, shocked everybody, came out of nowhere. Ppl were like "how the heck is this team doing this??"

Hawks currently at 3-3 with the "unbeatable" Celtics for me

David Stern's continued inability to run the NBA. . . :noway:

Can't choose just one. It's been a wild season.

guys, what about Kobe "accepting" his teammates? that's pretty big IMO..a team leader should always have a hard time accepting his teammates and then he should always receive praise from the media for doing it..

I think the changing of the guard in the West. Years down the road people will look back at this season and see the Mavs "officially" falling off (kinda proving last season wasn't a fluke, the Mavs will need to retool to become real contenders again), the Suns clearly declining (whether they're good or not next year, it will certainly be more difficult to be as good as they once were), and, maybe, the Spurs losing while Duncan advances past his prime.

Meanwhile, the Lakers experience a resurgence, the Hornets experiencing a...surgence? Doesn't seem right to put a re- on there. And the Jazz legitimizing their WCF trip from last year.

So for me it's kinda easily the new faces atop the West, with the Celtics coming in second. And only second because they're just one team, while the other story effects like 6.

The Jazz aren't really the new kids. They really only had one genuinely bad season and that was in 2004-2005. They've been a .500 team and above forever except that season.
