The Official 2025/2026 NBA Season Thread OKC Thunder NBA Champs Who’s Got Next?

Most great players would still be great, but yes the talent level has grown in the past 40+ years.

As it should.

Much deeper because of the popularity of the game— First Team All-NBA could easily have no Americans. Baseball is the exact opposite.

But not just deeper but better. Much better. I don’t follow any other sport anymore but I suspect the evolution of skill in the NBA over the past few decades is much more significant than in any other major sport.
 
Quick funny story for you. Went to grade school with a girl and lost touch for about 5 years as she went to different high schools thereafter. Bumped into her on the city bus during freshman year of college. We quickly rebuilt the friendship and would catch up on the bus a few times a week as we didn't have any classes together. We got to talking about family, and she had a number of siblings. She asked about my parents' ages at that present time, and I said late-40s / early-50s (as I was 18).

She noted her dad was 72yo.

I sat there doing mathematical gymnastics trying to process what she said.

She started laughing as she knew it was wild that her dad was 53 - 54yo when she was born, and that I was processing that info. Had me laughin' too.

Shoutout to Dawn and her family. I think her dad's about 100 now.




:roflmao3: :cheers:

Yo now that’s crazy as hell lol.
 
Am I going crazy or did NBC advertise ALL SUMMER that there would be a game on EVERY Monday & Tuesday night?

I haven't seen a game in NBC since week 2. And the debut night was the ONLY broadcast where they actually showed both games.
Monday is Peacock

and it's been a game every Tuesday on NBC and then Peacock gets the second game

It's annoying having to switch between League Pass, Peacock, Amazon, and local channels to watch games.

Cool chick. I hope her family is doing well, and her too in life. They had an interesting house and great location. It was on a steep hill like 2 doors down from the grade school at the top, and within walking distance of less than 10 mins from 2 high schools. Easy for the big family of kids to get to classes.
