NBA 2024-25 Season Preview

The 2024-25 NBA season is set to kick off on October 22, marking the 79th season of the league. Here are some key points to look out for:

The season begins with two games, one featuring the reigning NBA Champions, the Boston Celtics, against the New York Knicks. This follows a successful run by USA Basketball at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where they extended their reign to five consecutive Olympic titles.

Top Teams to Watch
- Boston Celtics: With players like Jrue Holiday, Jayson Tatum, and Derrick White from the USA men's Olympic team, along with Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porziņģis, and Al Horford, the Celtics are poised for multiple championship runs.

Key Players
- LeBron James: Despite approaching his 40th birthday, James remains a dominant force, having won his third Olympic gold medal and averaging 25.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 7.3 rebounds last season. He will also play alongside his son Bronny James this season.
- Victor Wembanyama: The highly anticipated rookie with the San Antonio Spurs is one of the top players to watch.
