Can't Hardly Wait ...
Dec. 1 -- After a long wait, we have a season to look forward to and we here at the Top Plays Ladder could not be happier.
Hard to believe, but it has been nearly six months since the Dallas Mavericks claimed their first NBA title in a memorable Finals showdown with the Miami Heat. If you forgot about the best plays from that series, you'll find them below for your handy reference. Or, if the whole 2010-11 season seems like a blur, that's up above, too.
But don't spend too much time looking back ... there's more than enough to look forward to when it comes to the looming 2011-12 season. Which big names (like Nene, David West and others) will switch locales -- if at all? Will any All-Star players (like Chris Paul, Dwight Howard or Rajon Rondo) switch addresses before 2011-12 tips off? Who has the most to prove this season? The sheer thought of it all (and the plays these guys will pull off) makes us nearly giddy with anicipation.
While you ponder those thoughts and more, here are the best plays from last season's playoffs and the top 10 plays from 2010-11 to whet your appetite.
