The NBA is filled with great teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics or the San Antonio Spurs.

The NBA also has a great amount of amazing players like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Tim Duncan, Paul Pierce and others.

I really enjoy watching the many games of the NBA on ESPN and on TNT. I like to watch the San Antonio Spurs and the Boston Celtics.
