The 2016 NBA Playoffs have arrived! Who are the unsung heroes who must step up in order for their respective teams to thrive?
The 2016 NBA Playoffs promise to be one of the most intense in recent history. 11 different teams won at least 45 games, with six eclipsing the 50-win plateau, five surpassing 55 victories, and two tallying at least 65.
Regardless of their respective win totals, all 16 teams have an X-Factor.
The stars must shine up for every championship hopeful, as has been the case since the very beginning of the season. In order for a team to make the grueling push through the playoffs, however, other players need to step up.
Those players qualify as the X-Factors.
These players aren’t the face of the franchise, but instead contributors who offer limited production over the course of a full season. They’re capable of catching fire, however, thus pushing their respective teams to the point of achieving improbable victory.
The question is, who must step up for the 16 NBA teams in pursuit of the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy?
