Southeast Division



In the year of 2004, the NBA decided to change the 4 division-format into a 6 division-format. This was executed after the inclusion of Charlotte Bobcats into the NBA. The Southeast Division was created in the year of 2004 together with the Pacific Division in the west. The teams that make up the Southeast Division are Miami Heat, Washington Wizards, Orlando Magic, Charlotte Bobcats and Atlanta Hawks. For the past 3 years since its inception, the Miami Heat had been the division champion of the Southeast Division. This division accomplished glory when the Miami Heat became the NBA champions for the first time in the year of 2006.

However, there are also NBA teams in this division that have shown great prospective in the Southeast Division. The Washington Wizards, led by their All Star guard Gilbert Arenas, have shown the world of basketball game the level of intensity one man can bring to the league. With phenomenal scoring in each game, Gilbert Arenas has really set the tone for one man show. Unluckily, Arenas was injured just days before the playoffs. That disallowed him and the team from showing their true form when they were swept I the first round by Lebron James? Cavaliers.

Orlando Magic is also a great basketball team led by Grant Hill. With such youthful players, the basketball team can actually run the floor for the entire game. Grant Hill may not be the same when he was just a rookie in Detroit, but basketball players like Dwight Howard, Tony Battie and Darko Milicic add fresh legs everyday to the basketball team. The basketball team is not accurately among the top teams in the NBA, but they can very well compete when everyone steps up to the challenge.

Another NBA team to look out for in the Southeast Division is the Charlotte Bobcats. Partly owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan, the team is still building up for an enormous role in the division and eventually in the league. Prominent rapper Nelly is also part owner of this young basketball team. With rookie of the year Omeka Okafor and Brevin Knight, this juvenile team is primed to be a team to reckon with in the near future. Their league records are enhanced than expected, and they will definitely improve with time.

And to complete the Southeast Division, we have the Atlanta Hawks. They are one of the oldest NBA teams in the division. But the basketball team?s experience in the league does not necessary reflect their performance, finishing last in the division this season. The basketball team is led by Josh Smith, with NBA players like Joe Johnson, Lorenzen Wright.
