 True-Blooded Rocket: Rafer Alston
True-Blooded Rocket: Rafer Alston
It wasn't until the 22-game winning streak that Rafer was finally absolved from the AND1 stigma, and all the haters really couldn't find anything to complain about. It is true that he was at his best, but his tough NBA journey led him to this inevitable year.

 The NBA's next target: India. Why India? Why not?
The NBA's next target: India. Why India? Why not?
Why India? Economic reasons initially (over a billion people, developing middle class, not soccer crazy) as the NBA can make a lot of money on TV deals as professional sports don't get much air play. There's also a subtle social agenda as well -- but really, you kinda want to give it a shot just for the chance to see this guy in the Turban yelling at refs in Punjabi as an assistant coach, right?

 Top 7 Players who will be taken too soon
Top 7 Players who will be taken too soon
Because everybody loves lists! I tried to come up with 10 guys, but really these are the only ones who stood out as either men-of-the-minute because of what they did last season, or are guys who I feel are perennially overvalued and taken higher than they should be. Maybe I’m just being pessimistic, but these are the guys that I probably won’t be drafting because someone else is likely to overpay.
