This is nothing more then an observation, but I found it pretty interesting that in the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs this year, each series seemed to have an underlying story of the old superstars verse the future generation of superstars. Despite the excitement behind the young crop of players and their inevitable rise up in the NBA, it seems the basketball Gods have a few more years of dominance in mind for the veterans.
Lakers vs Jazz: Kobe Bryant (11 years pro) defeats Deron Williams (2 years pro)
Spurs vs Hornets: Tim Duncan (10 years pro) defeats Chris Paul (2 years)
Pistons vs Magic: Chauncey Billups (10 years pro) defeats Dwight Howard (3 years pro)
Celtics vs Cavaliers: Kevin Garnett (12 years pro) defeats Lebron James (4 years pro)
Who knows how much longer the veterans will have before the very exciting and talented group of superstars begin to take the torch. But for now, it appears that the oldies aren't willing to go away without a few more years of dominance.
