We double dribbled through the data because the NBA tips off this week. We know, you don't start watching basketball 'til April when the playoffs finally start, but sports fans are busy searching on their favorite basketball squad. Here are the top 10 teams in the NBA right now according to searches...

  1. Los Angeles Lakers
  2. Boston Celtics
  3. Miami Heat
  4. Dallas Mavericks
  5. New York Knicks
  6. Chicago Bulls
  7. San Antonio Spurs
  8. Detroit Pistons
  9. Houston Rockets
  10. Phoenix Suns

The big storyline in Buzz as we head into the new season isn't the Heat's attempt to repeat—it's all about the new ball. The league ditched their leather ball in favor of a synthetic ball that has players grumbling about its slippery feel and cheap aesthetic. Searches on "nba ball" and "new nba ball" have bounced skyward as the new ball enters play. Here are the top five NBA players in Search right now...

  1. Kobe Bryant
  2. Allen Iverson
  3. LeBron James
  4. Dwyane Wade
  5. Tracy McGrady
