The NFL Draft QB class of 1983 is widely considered the best at the position. We'll second that notion. But what about the top classes for running back, wide receiver, tight end, O-line, D-line, linebacker and defensive backs?
Zion Williamson is a mortal lock to go No. 1 overall, and Ja Morant and RJ Barrett will battle to be the second pick. After that it's anyone's guess what teams drafting in the lottery do this year.
"And it’s not even close." In today’s social-media-driven world, there’s no middle ground — you have to pick a side and end your arguments with obnoxious phrases like, "and it’s not even close."
It's the most wonderful time of the year right now for NBA fans (except for those of the Lakers). The long regular season is over. The playoff matchups are set. "DNP-Load Management" is no longer a thing. Hell, we might even get to see the Warriors play hard for multiple games in a row.
Remember when we were talking ourselves into ways the Lakers could win the title ? That didn't go exactly as planned, did it?
Now that the regular season is complete, it's time to look back at each team from a big picture perspective. What did this season teach us about a particular team, a particular player, a particular coach?
While the NBA is thriving and most teams are able to sell out many, if not all, of their home games, the world around us is changing.

With the young Mavs star taking the NBA by storm during his rookie season, it’s safe to assume that every team will start taking more risks in search of the “next Luka Doncic."
With the dismissal of Pelicans longtime general manager Dell Demps last week, it's officially "hot seat" season in the NBA. Over the course of the next few months, a number of head coaches and front office people around the league will be fighting for their jobs.
There is a TON of talent in the NBA right now. In putting together this team, I combed through each and every roster for any player who could claim to be one of the best non-All-Stars in the NBA.
What your favorite team did at the deadline is a good indication of what its outlook is heading into the second half of the season.
Remembering NBA icon Bill Russell, who died Sunday at age 88.
If you need a break from trying to decipher all of the trade deadline gossip and rumors on Twitter over the next 24 hours, feel free to take a trip down trade deadline memory lane with me and remember the 20 biggest deadline deals of the past 20 years.
How things will actually play out by Thursday’s rapidly approaching deadline is anyone’s guess, but here are 10 potential trades that would make this NBA season a whole lot more interesting.
Last week, the trade deadline seemed destined to be a snoozer - Mike Conley and Marc Gasol were possibly going to be traded, some bad contracts were going to get flipped and some contenders were going to fortify their rotations. It's crazy what can change in just a couple of days, isn't it?
