The NBA season apparently will begin on Christmas Day, an exciting event for pro-hoops lovers after nearly two months of lockout-related drama. Among top storylines for the upcoming season is the New York Knicks' ability to mesh as a team.

But it takes more than two great players to win a championship—and sometimes even more than three great players, as demonstrated by the Miami Heat's loss in the NBA Finals last season.
