SI's 2004-05 NBA Preview
The winds of change swept through the NBA in the off-season, dismantling some dynasties while setting the roots for some potential new ones. But while Tracy McGrady tries to find a happy medium with Yao Ming in Houston and Dwyane Wade endeavors to keep a newly motivated Shaquille O'Neal happy in Miami, has any team done enough to unseat the all-for-one, one-for-all approach that guided the Pistons to the NBA crown last season? Despite all of the changing faces, the principle that leads to the championship is the same as its always been -- hard work. And few work harder than Detroit's Richard Hamilton, Memphis' Brian Cardinal and Utah's Carlos Arroyo. Sports Illustrated's NBA Preview issue (Oct. 25, 2004) tries to makes sense of all of the comings and goings for what promises to be one of the most open NBA fields in years. The lessons start below.
