The NBA has evolved into an athletic, perimeter-heavy league.

There's no question that the Portland Trail Blazers made significant upgrades to their roster over the summer.

With the start of the 2013-14 NBA season rapidly approaching, we thought it only fair to share what makes each team so exciting.

Training camps are tipping off, Supreme Leader (err, Commissioner) Stern is staring wistfully at his countdown clock, my Sixers are trying to become the worst team in basketball history, and every player in the league is “in the best shape of his life.

Aside from the 2012-13 ROY Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers fans did not have a lot to get excited about last season.

Tyreke Evans will now definitely be moving on to New Orleans, as Sacramento, Portland and the Pelicans have agreed on a three-team deal.

Midway through the third quarter of their eventual 92-88 takedown of Memphis, Chicago opened up a 14-point lead as Kirk Hinrich went all 2004 on us.

In case you ever wanted to hear Anthony Davis sing, here's the latest episode of Trew To The Game, about New Orleans Hornets Media Day.

Wherever your turn tonight (or for the next two weeks) you're going to get hit in the face with Olympic coverage.

Blake Griffin went to the rack late in last night's game against the Suns, only to be met by a cross-body block from Robin Lopez.

Blake Griffin complained recently about all of the cheap shots he's been taking. Does this count.

So long, Superman.
