NBAipedia is a multicultural, Web-based, free-content encyclopedia project specifically about the 2007-08 NBA season. NBAipedia's entries provide information to guide the reader to related incidents that will impact the upcoming season. Much like Wikipedia, some of the information on NBAipedia may be 100 percent inaccurate. But that should never devalue its purpose. Make changes where necessary, add info as needed ... it's just the NBA.

Matrix (aka Shawn Marion; the 12th-highest-paid player in the league; one of the 10 most complete players in the league) is the player who is almost as important to the success of the Phoenix Suns as Steve Nash. Marion is the businessman inside the Matrix that has become a disgruntled part of the system. Apparently not happy with the addition of Grant Hill, the emergence of Leandro Barbosa, and his reduced role in Mike D'Antoni's offense, Matrix will take it upon himself to play this season as if it were his last. He will make his fifth All-Star team, lead the league in rebounding, make the All-NBA first-team on defense, and lead the Suns to the NBA Finals. Then he'll demand -- not request -- to leave. All of this will come true unless new GM Steve Kerr can create some magic before the trade deadline in February.
Steve Nash (from Canada via South Africa; president of the Steve Nash Foundation; the definition of selflessness) is the double MVP havin', Raymond Weil watch wearin', Iraq war opposin', Men's Journal cover posin', "Speed Kills" advertisin', speed kills possessin', best player in the game point god on the Phoenix Suns. (Should be) the league's hungriest player this season. Needs to get to the Finals this year more than any other player in the league. If he gets there (regardless of whether he wins), only Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson will be considered greater than he is at the point. Will win a third MVP, unless there's a Men's Journal cover jinx.
Phoenix Suns (the New England Patriots of the NBA, the only thing missing is the rings) will be in the NBA Finals. They have a chance to win 70 games. Nash-to-Stoudemire was in vogue before Brady-to-Moss. There are no refs or microfracture surgeries or contract disputes or unsolved conspiracy theories left to interfere with this team. But patience and understanding is running thin in the city, and apparently in the team's inner circle. If they don't make the Finals this year, expect an implosion. Team owner Robert Sarver, chairman Jerry Colangelo and Nash will be the only ones left standing, saying, "What the (fill in the blank) happened?" What happened will be the most discussed subject in the offseason, win or lose.
