After 4 seasons of misery and heartbreaking losses the Chicago Bulls have come back as 'Michael Jordan's Team'...Not only are they back as the first place team in the East but they also have back, Michael Jordan! The Bulls were expected to come back as a good team after maybe 3 seasons of rebuilding but with KARLNOT13 running the show it took them 3 weeks. With all the trades made with the Bulls, they are better than the Phil Jackson years. Instead of Jordan-Pippen-Rodman it has become Jordan-Francis-Odom. Will this new Bulls team last more than a season or will it fall apart with Jordan's career? Those questions and more will be answered throughout the season.

AI N' Shaq on Top, Teams aren't

Allen Iverson and Shaquille O'neal have been ripping it up throughout the league. They both are leading scorers for their team. Shaq leads his team in rebounds and blocks as well. Iverson leads his team in steals. Though they are both monsters in the league and both MVP candidates, their teams are not doing as well as expected. The Lakers are doing very well but they were also expected to go first place as returning champions. The Sixers who were last years Eastern Conference Champions are at the 'bottom of the barrel' in the Atlantic Division. Maybe these 2 future hall of famers will bring their team up during the season.
