Looking at the amount of crazy starting rosters this season, it seems difficult to think of an equivalent to it in recent times:

  • Denver returning to defend their title with Jokic and Murray
  • Suns with KD, Booker, and Beal
  • Heat looking for the Finals runback
  • Bucks with Giannis and Dame
  • Spurs continuing their legacy of lanky stoics with generational talent in Wembanyama
  • Blazers with Scoot and Sharpe
  • boston celtics
  • Almost 40-year-old LeBron still being a top 10 player alongside AD
  • Warriors with Chris Paul

When was the last time a season showed as much promise as this? And which of these teams has the most potential to live up to the hype?
