10 good reasons to watch the Regular Season NBA 2018/2019

"The wait attenuates the mediocre passions and increases the bigger ones." This sentence is by François De La Rochefoucauld and we borrow it to describe how at the moment our passion is overflowing from our imaginary vessels and will soon flood the our lives and especially our nights that will begin to clear up to become white that you can not whiter. I put together 10 good reasons not to lose even one game of the NBA Regular Season 2018/2019 that leaves tonight, here they are.

1. LeBron with the Lakers jersey

If only to see the effect it does, to quote Jannacci (italian songwriter), we can not even miss a Lakers game. The ingredients are the King, quite a few youngsters ready to become the trusted Musketeers of the sovereign his majesty LeBron James as Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma and a series of run away home ready to blow up with the TNT the already little stable city of angels. I already have the popcorn in my hand.

2. The Greek Freak

We just have to sit down and admire what could bring home the MVP title of the regular season that he's ready to go. It has become something indecent for how strong it is and it is also ready as an attitude to dominate the league. Giannis Antetokounmpo is on the launch pad to become what is destined to become: MVP. Ah, and in the pre-season he rehearsed.

3. The Fab Five (also called Monstars)

If we talk about "invincible team", on paper we are currently in the NBA we find only one: The Golden State Warriors. Why do I say invincible? Here's the starting line up: Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Cousins, pretty much what could be the All Star Game quintet for the west ... but exactly, if these find a square with Cousins, what would we be talking about? Three Peat and everyone at home.

4. Luka (and his mother)

MVP of the Euroleague won by Real Madrid, MVP also of the Final Four, European champion with Slovenia, at 19. A talent to be initiated and absolutely senseless, a shamelessness and a certainty in his infinite means and to close a mother who define beautiful is absolutely simplistic (we imagine and hopefully in the stands at every game to applaud the son). Whenever you see that they are about to broadcast or are playing a game of the Dallas Mavericks, a team that has captured the talents of the Slovenian, stop and watch why on a basketball court Luka Doncic can do everything.

5. The first European head coach in the history of the NBA

After 18 years as a deputy in quite a few NBA teams, the story was finally written. Igor Kokoškov is the first head coach born and raised outside the United States of America to sit on an NBA bench, that of the Phoenix Suns. It's true, not really the Bulls of '98 but I'm very curious to see what will succeed in pulling out from DeAndre Ayton and Devin Booker the coach that led to the European victory of Dragic and Doncic. Eyes open.

6. Trae Young aka "The modest"

He said he was inspired by Steph Curry but wanted to be like Steve Nash. He also stated that his goal is to become the best of the league and to be able to break the triple record of the number 30 in the Golden State jersey, practically wants the impossible. Someone once said: "We are realists, we ask for the impossible", here we have found the most realistic of all and who has an unparalleled self-confidence, Trae Young, the rookie of the Atlanta Hawks will give pearls on pearls, guaranteed.

7. Boston Celtics complete (and healthy)

Last year, without the unfortunate Gordon Hayward and the injury in the most important moment of Kyrie Irving, the Boston Celtics made a masterpiece arriving in the final conference and bringing LeBron James and Cleveland Cavaliers to race 7 losing it. The answer to the question, what would have happened if there were also the illustrious absentees, does not exist. Fortunately, and we hope it will be so throughout the season, this year there will be and if they play as they know, thanks to coach Brad Stevens, these may rock!

8. Donovan "the real rookie of the year" Mitchell 

Yes, because last year the title went to Ben Simmons, who was not a Rookie in the strict sense. Ben was already in the NBA for a year but could not play in the 2016-2017 season due to a bad foot injury during the pre-season. There has also been veiled controversy between Donovan Mitchell and Ben Simmons, but we don't care. What interests us most of all is to see what Mitchell will be able to do in his second year, because the first was discreet to put it mildly.

9. "One Last Dance" 

Tears, ice cream tub with spoon, sofa and blanket. When this year you play the Miami Heat, organize yourself like that because it could be the last time you see the three-time NBA champion and MVP of the 2006 Finals, Dwayne Wade. Last round of Waltz for him. Thank you for the memories, Flash!

10. The city of "brotherly love"

In Philadelphia they have been waiting for "something" for too long, I would not have been waiting for Godot. The fact is this, after years spent tanking, the 76ers want to bring home something important. With Embiid and Simmons can play with anyone but we must see if the supporting cast will live up to the situation. Trust the process!
