ORR for Nov. 27, 2011. Players We're most exited to see when season starts.

Page 1: The introduction which explains what the article will be about, therefore I have no comment about it.
Page 2: This page states that Kobe Bryant, considered as the second best basketball player in the world alongside Dwyane Wade, is aging for the NBA, 33 years old. Last year the Los Angeles Lakers, who are a Kobe Bryant-Centered team, went into the playoffs and were swept by the Dallas Mavericks (Dallas won L.A. in 4 games where L.A. lost all of them), which shows Kobe's game at the moment, also it shows he has little to no seasons left. This page states this is Kobe's last shot against the younger players. I unfortunately must agree to this statement, as I hate the Los Angeles Lakers, therefore Kobe Bryant too, I think that this is his last shot at anything, and if he understands that he will put everything in for it, whereas if he doesn't believe so, there is nothing to be frightened of.
Page 3: Kevin Durant is the leaser of the young guns. This means that as there are many GREAT young players in the NBA right now, and that Kevin Durant will be their leader. I must agree and disagree with this, as I think the former M.V.P. Derrick Rose will lead the young players alongside Kevin Durant.
Page 4: The Oklahoma City Thunder Need Russell Westbrook to Buy in. This means that OKC Thunder need Westbrook to start playing well and fast, as he is the other star in the Thunder (Kevin Durant the first star). What this means is that Westbrook needs to step up as the SECOND option on his team, and stop being needy for the ball, otherwise if he doesn't play his part, Thunder may be in big trouble.
Page 5: Blake Griffin Is Ready to Ascend from Prince to King of LA. I have only three words about this. Overrated. Blake. Griffin.
Page 6: Ricky Rubio Makes His Long-Awaited Stateside Debut. Ricky Rubio is a Spanish Superstar who was drafted in the 2009 draft class by the Minnesota Timberwolves and did not manage to agree upon a deal with his European team, therefore Minnesota had to use one of their many draft picks this year to get him again. The wait the NBA has had to see Rubio in an NBA uniform has been too long in my opinion and seeing him finally playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves, one of the worst teams in the league last season, is going to be great.
Page 7: Can Carmelo Anthony Make the New York Knicks a Contender? Alongside LeBron James and Kevin Durant, Carmelo is my favorite Small Forward in the league. Anthony was traded in the deadline last year from the Denver Nuggets to the New York Knicks, who were, and are currently still in 'rebuilding' mode. Will Anthony manage to take the Knicks on his shoulders with Amar'e Stoudemire. In my opinion, NO. The Knicks need a proper Point Guard who is willing to play for them. As of right now they only have a combo-guard who in my opinion is either a backup or a third-option to the point guard position. All-in-all, if the Knicks don't get a Point Guard this offseason, then there is no way Carmelo and Amar'e alone cant make the team a contendor.
Page 8:John Wall Has Resurrected the Moribund Washington Wizards. About this page I don't have an actual comment, although I do think John Wall is the future of the NBA alongside Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, and many more.
