    What are the feel good stories in the NBA this season?

    Some of the ones to me:

    Hedo Turkoglu - His development as a scorer and his clutch play.

    Kenyon Martin - Coming back from microfracture surgery on each knee and gaining back all of his jumping and explosiveness.

    Washington Wizards - Granted it is in the East, but despite injuries to their two best players, they managed to maintain a winning record.

    Houston Rockets - Can't overlook a winning streak like that

    New Orleans Hornets - The city needed it.

    I just don't see the Celtics story as all that compelling to a national audience. Sure for the Celtics fans it is a great story, but I don't see how trading for Ray Allen and KG is a feel good story. Randy Moss getting traded to the Patriots wasn't a feel good story.

    Kenyon Martin is like Wolverine from X-Men. The guy fractured his legs or something in college and they said he probably won't play ball again, but then he gets drafted by the Nets and is one of the top leapers. Now after surgeries on each knee, he's back again and still explosive. I want to know what his mom fed him as a kid.

    The Nets finally getting rid of Jason Kidd.

    Oh, and [insert Jefferson-Walton gay joke with the words "feel" and "good" here].

    You know what really feels good?

    The Blazers and Suns not getting a top 3 pick.
