The main focal point is all on the Philadelphia 76ers.
They are the LA Rams of this season,
and there is such a boom or bust potential here for
this team.
If everything goes right,
the Philadelphia 76ers will rip apart the NBA and be the best
team, the number one seed,
and ruin everyone and be on their way to their first championship
since the 80s.
This is the secret sauce, right?
If you're talking about how the NBA is going to continue to grow,
you want Philadelphia
to be a super team.
You want Philadelphia to be epic.
You want them to run through the NBA
because the Knicks just showed you what happens when
a historically bad franchise or a Lucy with the football franchise,
it always gets close,
but always seems to have a problem that stops them from winning.
When New York is still buzzing from the Knicks championship,
they are still tonight.
This will be a crazy atmosphere at MSG
because everyone wants to be there to watch the banner
drop.
Do I think the Knicks are going to repeat?
No, I do not.
Why?
Because this has been a big talking point for the NBA.
If we're talking about the five big stories to start the NBA season,
number five would
be new faces in new places,
where some of these players are going to be playing this
year.
but namely it's LeBron, namely it's Jalen Brown, I mean
those are the two big questions the two
big points about what's going to happen, how does they, how
do they incorporate with Joel Embiid
and Tyrese Maxey and all the young talent
that the Sixers have, what happens, how does that work, but
it's not just there, there's other players
who have moved around, Paul George going to on the
other side, Paul George going to the Celtics, what does
that look like, how will that be considered
What about the young rookies coming into the league?
I mean, this rookie class is unbelievable.
There are some really talented youngsters coming into the NBA.
So what do they look like?
Number four, eight champs in eight years.
Like, do we have that again?
I think it's really possible.
Yeah, that a new champion will be crowned.
If it's the Sixers, it's nine.
Nine championships in nine years.
I think there's opportunities for new blood in the NBA
because of the way the league now moves around
and because of how many superstars in the offseason,
either big trades or moving around for free agency,
that parity is here for the NBA.
And Adam Silver loves that.
The league loves that.
The league is talking about the fact that this is such a competitive,
is it the Spurs' time?
Is it Spurs? Do they win?
Is it a first-time champion or is it a throwback?
Is it a Boston?
Is it a Oklahoma City that winds up winning
a championship that they've won in the last 20 years,
but they haven't won it, didn't win it last year?
