Damn I am excited

Simmons has some real gems today:

Has there ever been a one-on-one matchup quite like "Dirk Nowitzki vs. Amare Stoudemire"? Neither guy has any chance of stopping the other, nor will they care. It's going to be like watching the best Rucker Park showdown ever.

If Darko Milicic, Pavel Podkolzine, Nikoloz Tskitishvili and Carlos Delfino are all out of the NBA within three years, should they be forced to move into Chad Ford's house

The best point he sort of makes: those of us who have stuck by this league throughout the last few years' grueling postseasons are about to get PAID IN FULL!!!!!

This is a league of stars, so I'll give you few reasons that you should be as relentlessly stoked as I am:

Gilbert Arenas, Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, Shaq, Manu Ginobili, Mike Bibby, Ben Gordon, Amare Stoudemire, Paul Pierce, Antoine Walker, Reggie Miller, Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Carmelo Anthony, Larry Hughes, Rashard Lewis, Jermaine O'Neal, Gary Payton, and yes, Andre Iguodala
