This Halloween brings us three amazing things: 1) The latest episode of
House, 2) The release of Ron Artest's rap album,
My World, and 3) The start of the 2006-2007 NBA Season. Will
House walk without a cane again? Will Artest's album be better than K-Fed's? Will this NBA Season be the best in decades? Yes, yes, and hell yes.
If you thought the last two NBA seasons kicked ass, then dig in for a Chuck Norris-caliber season. High flyers, young guns, Euro imports, totally sweet moustaches, and Canadian point guards should make the entire season worth watching.
