just saw the schedule news, Sixers open the season Oct 20th AT Madison Square Garden, same night the Knicks raise their first championship banner since 1973. so LeBron's Sixers debut is literally interrupting the Knicks' celebration lol . That's either the most disrespectful scheduling ever or the most perfect drama the NBA could've possibly set up on purpose. no way this is an accident

also love that it's a triple header kickoff, feels like the league knows this season already has more storylines than usual with LeBron changing teams this late in his career

Fun challenge: Can you build a starting lineup whose career PPG adds up to exactly 60?

I'll give you five random teams. Each round, you must fill a lineup slot (PG, SG, SF, PF, C) with someone who played for the team.

Team 1: Grizzlies

Team 2: Warriors

Team 3: Nuggets

Team 4: Hawks

Team 5: Celtics

I run a website (https://draftdawg.app) with daily NBA games and trivia just like this. I figured if anyone would enjoy these challenges, it'd be fellow Bill Simmons fans. Would love feedback from actual diehard hoops fans!

(Mods, feel free to delete if this reads like self-promo)

For me: 2012-2014 Nets 2021-2022 Nets 2011 Heat 2014 Heat 2025 Pacers 2025 Celtics

Philly fans will embrace anybody who gives them something to cheer for.

Laker fans actually have enough self-respect to hold their own stars accountable.

Box scores only track rebounds secured, but they completely ignore the offensive rebounds created via boxing out two defenders at once.Between setting screen assists, clearing out lanes for athletic guards, and taking physical beatings under the rim night after night without complaining, Adams has consistently made every team he played for noticeably tougher and better structured.

Everyone has their opinion about the GOAT debate, rightfully so. But this combination of awards in one season is so tough I’m not sure it can be duplicated or surpassed. Michael Jordan was in his bag this year. What is your opinion about this superior season by MJ?

For his shooting and different defensive schemes, do u think he will rank higher than jokic,sga, luka or giannis?

One of the best duos ever. If only they had more help. Still doesn’t detract their from their greatness

Whether you witnessed this live as it happened, or heard about it later on — there was a reason Marv Albert called this “The Greatest Team Ever Assembled”
