The Nets are really quite a story.  They have reintroduced the NBA to the
concept of "team" basketball.  I think I heard correctly that the Nets are
the first NBA playoff team in history without a player in the top 50 in the
league in scoring.  The rest of the NBA doesn't quite know yet what to make
of this team; if they did, Jason Kidd would have been the MVP.

If you have a long-standing dislike of the NBA, watch the Nets in the
finals and then next year (they should be on a lot more).  I'm not saying
it's the same as college basketball (the most exciting sport on Earth), but
it is refreshing, and you'll enjoy it.
