NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30387226 We sure don't miss you We+sure+don%27t+miss+you NBA

Throughout this NBA lockout, we've seen more than enough of David Stern and Billy Hunter and everyone else involved in the fruitless labor talks. We want to see NBA basketball, but there are some things about the sport we miss more than others.

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30382569 Do miss: Heat-Celtics Do+miss%3A+Heat-Celtics NBA

This was the NBA's most fun rivalry last season, with the ornery, old-school Celtics winning the first three regular-season matchups before the new-jack Heat took them out in the playoffs. We want to see more of that before Boston's Big Three breaks down and breaks up.

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30387218 Do miss: Dirk Do+miss%3A+Dirk++ NBA

Nowitzki's magnificent playoff run left us with a new appreciation of his extraordinary career. No longer is he the incredibly-skilled-but-too-soft star of the Mavericks. Now he's a true superstar with the heart of a champion. It sure would be nice to watch him play again.

He used to be an explosive scorer with an endearingly goofy personality. Now he's not good and he's not funny. Gilbert Arenas, we miss who you used to be, not who you are.

It happens every year. Guys enter the NBA with a lot of hype and thrive immediately ... or get exposed. Either way, it's interesting, and there are a bunch of intriguing rookie guards we're wondering about now. Ricky Rubio (pictured) in Minnesota. Kyrie Irving in Cleveland. Jimmer Fredette in Sacramento. Kemba Walker in Charlotte. Can they hang or not? We want to know.

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30382572 Don't miss: NBA farewells Don%27t+miss%3A+NBA+farewells NBA

It's often unsettling to watch great players at the tail end of their careers. We don't like to see them go out like Shaq did in Boston. It reminds us of our own mortality, and it sucks. But during the lockout no one gets older, including us, right?!

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30382570 Do miss: Blake's dunks Do+miss%3A+Blake%27s+dunks NBA

Blake Griffin's rookie season was delayed a year by a knee injury, but for NBA fans it was worth the wait. The Clippers forward had 214 dunks, including this hellacious flush on Knicks victim Danilo Gallinari and not including his leap over a car to win the Slam Dunk Contest. How much longer will we have to wait to watch him dunk again?

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30382567 Don't miss: Blake's free throws Don%27t+miss%3A+Blake%27s+free+throws NBA

When Griffin wasn't dunking, he was getting fouled. Only Dwight Howard shot more free throws last season than Griffin, who converted just 64.2 percent from the line, ranking 340th among NBA players. That's still better than Howard (59.6), but it's an area where Griffin needs to improve to become a superstar, as Karl Malone did eventually during his NBA career. Hopefully Blake is working on that in private because we don't miss seeing him clang foul shots in public.

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30382573 Do miss: Kobe at work Do+miss%3A+Kobe+at+work NBA

Like him or not, Kobe Bryant is one of the most physically gifted, most skilled, hardest-working players in NBA history. But basketball greatness has a shelf life, and the lockout prevents us from seeing players who remain great, but won't stay that way much longer. That also includes Steve Nash, Tim Duncan, Jason Kidd and Kevin Garnett.

Let's admit it, Metta World Peace has been much more amusing during the lockout than Ron Artest was entertaining as a player last season.

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30387228 Do miss: Southwest Division Do+miss%3A+Southwest+Division+++ NBA

The NBA's strongest division is all about good basketball. The Spurs, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Hornets and Rockets all finished with winning records last season, going a collective 86 games above .500.

Besides the Bulls, who finished with the NBA's best record last season, the Central was the home of ugly and boring basketball. The Cavaliers, Pistons, Bucks and Pacers went 86 games under .500.

No, this isn't the most sophisticated basketball crowd in the NBA, but the fans in OKC are loud, they love their team and they have a lot to cheer about. Plus, they look dang good in blue.

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30387222 Don't miss: Celebrity fans Don%27t+miss%3A+Celebrity+fans+ NBA

We get it. Celebrities are better than us. They can afford to pay $3,000 for courtside seats. Some, like Justin Bieber, are more rich and famous than the players. Can we lock him out too?

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30387229 Do miss: Breakout stars Do+miss%3A+Breakout+stars++ NBA

A funny thing happened when Portland's two stars, Brandon Roy and Greg Oden, were brought down by injuries. Another star emerged in LaMarcus Aldridge. Last season also saw the emergence of Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love and league MVP Derrick Rose. Who will going to bust out this season? Hopefully we'll know that answer before it's too late.

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30385375 Don't miss: Major busts Don%27t+miss%3A+Major+busts+++ NBA

Every time we see guys like Darko Milicic (pictured), Adam Morrison, Hasheem Thabeet and Kwame Brown, we don't shake our heads in awe at their basketball talent. We shake our heads in bewilderment that anyone ever thought they'd be NBA stars.

Mark J. Rebilas - USA TODAY Sports http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2011/11/18/5b_20111118184040197_600_400.JPG http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2011/11/18/5b_20111118184040197_107_80.JPG

Kevin Durant was the NBA's youngest scoring champ two seasons ago, then led the league again last season. Yes, the Thunder's star has been everywhere during the lockout, putting up ridiculous numbers at Rucker Park and in various exhibition games. However, we'd rather be asking this question about games where his opponents actually play defense.

If we have an NBA season, Chris Paul (left) and Dwight Howard (right) will be getting asked this ad nauseam, as LeBron James was the year before he ditched Cleveland for Miami. Yes, it's interesting to think about superstars in new places, but we don't need to hear "no comment" every night until they become free agents.

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30387224 Do miss: Miami drama Do+miss%3A+Miami+drama++ NBA

You may hate them and say you're sick of them, but judging by the NBA's monster ratings last season, you were watching LeBron James and the Miami Heat. The early-season struggles, the ups and downs, the arrogance and eventual comeuppance. It was great, unscripted drama that no reality show on TV can match.

NBA 73 8 What we do (and don't) miss about the NBA 30385376 Don't miss: 'Melo drama Don%27t+miss%3A+%27Melo+drama+ NBA

All the Carmelo Anthony chatter last season turned out to be much ado about nothing. The Knicks weren't any better after they got him. The Nuggets weren't worse after losing him. Until 'Melo makes a big difference in the Big Apple, the lockout is giving us what we need when it comes to this overhyped star: a break.
