When most people think of LA sports teams they think Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. But this season a new NBA team is looking to be the new Los Angeles household name. The Clippers! The Clippers also share the Staples Center with the Lakers, but have not been as productive as Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. The Clippers over the off season they acquired Chris Paul one of the best and fastest point guards the NBA has to offer. He averaged 9.8 assists, 2.4 steals, and 15.8 points a game before he left his former team the New Orleans Hornets.
By bringing in such an elite player the Clippers fan based increased and was the team to watch. With already have their forward Blake Griffin last years, Rookie of the Year, and dunk contest winner, the Clipper seemed like a very fun and exciting team. And they haven't disappointed. Winning more than 3 quarters of their games.
With all the pre hype surrounding the Clippers, they took away some of the much older Lakers hype. And now since the Clippers are playing better than the Lakers who really dominants LA?

Two Championships in the Big Apple?
The New York Giants are Superbowl champions after beating the Patriots this 2011-2012 season. After New York celebrated its third Lombardi championship, a new piece of metal might be coming to New York. The New York Knicks are fast rising to the NBA's elite team status. With veteran all-stars Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, and rising stars Tyson Chandler and Jeremy Lin the look like the team to beat. With the speed and quickness of Jeremy Lin, the power of Tyson Chandler, and the shooting range Melo and Amare provide. They are a force to be reckoned with.
The Knicks are a above .500 win team, but there star power might take them places in the playoffs. More so the NBA Championship. The Knicks might be one of the youngest talents the NBA has to offer so they will make mistakes. But if the ball bounces their way, and if they stay out of penalty and foul trouble. A championship is sure to come. Maybe this season even.

1st Overall?
The NFL Draft is going to be a fun thing to watch this year. The Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck was rumored to go first overall, in the draft. But now a new quarterback Robert Griffin III has challenged the GMs choice of picking luck. Robert Griffin can throw and has Mike Vick speed. Is the type of player Cam Newton was last year. Put your self in the position of the Colts general manager. You have the first pick. Who do you draft. Andrew Luck smart, tall, and a great leader. Or Robert, lightning quick, gunslinger, great on the deep ball. But also if your the Colts GM you ALREADY HAVE AN ELITE QB!!! Peyton Manning is the top of the NFL since 1998. So you could draft another one for the future or you could draft another position. Like the Running Back from Alabama Trent Richardson. Trent is fast, never gives up, and runs with power. Hes not one of the biggest backs but he hs force and speed, which is deadly combination. The Colts dont have strong running game so who knows what there going to do. Work on the future or the present

Slow Wizards
Wizards have lost more than half of their games. Expected to come running out the gates being a powerful young team. Hungry for a wins and a some what elite team in the NBA. But the Wizards having been moving slowish. Not completing plays, not getting the star power they expected out of John Wall, bad coaching jobs already firing one of their head coaches. Everything that can go bad for a team HAS gone bad for the wizards. Injuries are also apart of their problems. The Wizards need to step up there play if the expect to compete with the NBA's elite.

Knicks Playoffs?
The New York Knicks Just acquired NBA All Star Carmello Anthony. So now with two All Stars Amare Stoudemire and Mello, the Knicks were supposed to be the team to beat, but they've been winning, but just puling them out. Like they're just beating teams like the Bobcats, whats going to happen when the face NBA's elite teams like the Heat. Or even ok teams like the Clippers. I think they need to get their team chemistry up, so everyone will be in the game to utilize their star studded roster. Because the Knicks could easily be elite but they have to work harder than they thought. The question is can they win a champion ship and make the playoffs.

Tim Tebow: A Clutch QB?
In Denver there are alot of hype surrounding their young ball club. Second year Quarter Back, Tim Tebow has won more than half of the Broncos games. While last year they lost more than half of their games. But, the difference is not only defense's play, or the new coaching staff. But their new "signal caller" Tim Tebow. But a different QB cant mean that much to a team right. Well , not only is Tebow a like able guy and the new face of the franchise. But he WINS. Of course every athlete is paid to win, but the Broncos are not a winning team. The cool thing about their wins is that more than half of them have come from fourth quarter comebacks, or in overtime. Its alot of pressure to lead a team from behind. That seperates the elite QB's and the average ones. Are you good in the clutch? Thats basically the business question for the QB job. And while Tim throws about 12 passes a game (and on average others throw 20-40 passes) he wins when it matters. As I said Tebow wins in the clutch. But not by leading the aerial attack. He runs for yards and touchdowns. He has a very different style of play but is he really a (clutch performer). Elite QB's win with the game on the line and Tim has been doing that. But is he really an "elite" player?

Peyton Might Win MVP
Recently the Colt's, All Pro quarterback had a neck surgery which kept him out of this season. The thing is when he played they made the playoffs every year but, without him they have lost every game. Which is amazing. You would think they would lose more games but not lose them all. The MVP award is giving to the the person that has meant the most to there team. And since with Peyton Manning the made it to the playoffs for 12 years straight. And now the are losing horribly I think they really need Peyton. No team feels as though they rely on one player but its obvious they do rely on him. And for that reason Peyton Manning should win the MVP trophy because he means the most to his team. Even though he didnt play
