Almost Famous

C-Palm may not have made it to the League as a player, but he nails it with this one of a kind in-depth look into what's happening behind the scenes of the NBA. Palmer himself compares his task at hand to the movie Almost Famous and the comparison is right on. Not only do we walk away with a different perspective of the five players Palmer follows, we are also ushered into a better understanding of their teammates - ie, Lebron James' off-the-record anger at not being informed he was one rebound away from a triple double. Don't plan on knowing each player inside-out, but enjoy the picture of the 04-05 season as only C-Palm can paint it.
