The 2013 slate features last season's champion (the Miami Heat) and runner-up (the San Antonio Spurs), four teams from the top two markets (the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers, and Los Angeles Clippers), plus some championship contenders (the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Golden State Warriors.)
