Given the NBA lockout, we have not had our customary summer activities to keep us occupied: summer leagues, free agency, trades and of course rumors.
Oh how we miss the rumors. No longer are we talking about a potential Andre Iguodala and Monta Ellis swap; instead those talks have been replaced by revenue sharing, hard caps and a $300 million figure that keeps getting tossed around.
And thus, the Summer of NBA Legends was born. If there was ever a time to talk about some of the greatest teams, players or performances in NBA history, it was now.
Over the past few weeks, I have written about a few players, teams and games that added a little something to history of the league. Below you will find the list; feel free to recommend any additional links covering essentially other great NBA moments or legends.
