In his column yesterday for NBA.com, TNT's David Aldridge listed what he felt were the 10 biggest NBA stories of 2012, including Linsanity, the Dwightmare, and the Lakers' drama in Los Angeles.
On New Year's Day, it seems appropriate to look back on the year that was, and the stories that dominated headlines for the last 12 months. Today's poll asks which story you felt was the biggest of the year. When you think about 2012 a few years down the road, what will be the first thing that comes to mind? LeBron James' first title? The Nets' move to Brooklyn? Jeremy Lin's magical run in New York? Or something else?
Weigh in with your thoughts in the poll and in the comments section.
