NBA Jam Preview: Heat, Wizards and Magic

Current Players: Yi Jianlian, Andray Blatche, Gilbert Arenas and John Wall

Legends: Manute Bol and G-Wiz (mascot)

Arenas may be the Wizards most serious weapon(s owner) here. If Wall’s statistic are based on hype and collegiate ability, that duo would be a force of fun. The addition of the late Manute Bol is a great gesture for gamers, giving the Wizards a nice inside force as well.

Best Twosome: Arenas and Wall

Current Players: Dwight Howard, Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis

Legends: Nick Anderson and Scott Skiles

The Magic, quite simply, are one of the top teams in the game. Carter’s ability to dunk will make him a near-must-start, and Howard may end up being the most effective player in the game. His ability to block, dunk, rebound and body-check (all without fouling out) will make this team very popular. No Pennie Hardaway, however.

Current Players: LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh

Legends: Glen Rice and Rony Seikaly

To help minimize the internet content being published about the Miami Heat this offseason, I’ll just stop here: This team is as good as those three players.

Best Twosome: LeBron and DWade, with the occasional Glen Rice cameo to drop some tre-bombs.

That wraps up the East! The West is coming soon.
