As 2010 begins, after more than two full months of play, the Los Angeles Lakers still remain on top of the NBA as they continue their march towards their 16th NBA title and coach Phil Jackson’s 11’th championship team. Cleveland has roared to life and is threatening to overtake last year’s champions, while Phoenix and Miami struggle to maintain their positions.
