ESPN the Magazine NBA Season Preview



Yeah I know its been a while. Sorry. I was busy working in Milwaukee, WI for a month.

Want to know more?

Ask me about it. I will answer.

But after getting back I think I just kinda forgot I had a blog. My apologies my imaginary followers.

A lot has happened since I last posted. A lot of cool things have happened as well. Not just to me but in the world as well. The anticipation of the new NBA season has, for one, has gotten even bigger (can anticipation get bigger? I don't know if it can but I'll use it).

Last week the ESPN the Magazine previewed the upcoming NBA season by utilizing its parent company's (Disney) acquisition of Marvel Comics to add even more pizzazz the issue. There are many things that I love and basketball and Marvel Comics are 2 of those many.

In addition to a Marvel Comic-like ESPN The Magazine cover, Marvel Comics artists created 30 covers for each team in the NBA pairing players with Marvel characters or Marvel themes.

To say the least, this idea and the images were AWESOME!!! With all that has happened with Free Agency throughout the summer with the host of blockbuster Free Agents and Lebron's The Decision, along with W+K's new Lebron spot that came out yesterday I am excited as hell for tonight's first game of the new NBA season featuring the the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics.

I got some of my favorites below. I'm still trying to decide between the Charlotte Bobcats cover with Michael Jordan as Nick Fury or the Houston Rockets cover with Yoa Ming being reengineered like Weapon X as my number 1 fav.

Here is all 30 Marvel comics inspired NBA covers.
