Another year another unique champion

[Godymas]

The 2020s have been on of the most unique eras of basketball in almost 50 years.

If Boston doesn’t win it all this year they will never get it let down

[Papi_swav]

Yes. I love parity in NBA. Much better than having one team just dominate every single year, let someone else get a chance.

Finals MVP is going to be 25 or younger without mvp or finals mvp yet, crazy

[Dominator83]

As a fan of a team who's horse is never in the race, i like the changeup from year to year.

[ChartFiction]

All the remaining teams have young players where a championship would be huge.

[SweetTouch]

They don’t make them like the King anymore

Too many one hit wonders

1970’s is back

[AlexanderRight]

I got to say the NBA has gotten so much better since the Warriors/Lebron Superteam era. This feels like a breath of fresh air and I hope the parity we're seeing now is here to stay.

[dakomish23]

Yep

Raptors
Lakers
Bucks
Warriors
Nuggets

Gotta love parity

[Dominator83]

Parity baby! I like it

[dygaction]

Like it

[Baz]

This is just 10x more fun than the superteam era.

[SweetTouch]

Too many one hit wonders and not generational GOATS

Fans want one hit wonders over goats

[EmpireFalls]

GOATs aren’t possible under this CBA

Finals MVP is going to be 25 or younger without mvp or finals mvp yet, crazy

It's a big call but ok, might want to put some $$$ on it as the odds will be long.

[PhilBlackson]

I don’t even want to acknowledge the last part that if Boston doesn’t get it done this year “they will never” convo. That’s ridiculous, it’s only their 2nd time with 2 stars who literally arguably haven’t even entered their primes either or just about entering. Assuming health, no reason they can’t have multiple cracks at it and eventually win one (or more).

BUT what is interesting is one of these young stars will begin the discussion of their “legacy”. Now that’s interesting!

One of these guys get their “first” championship and start forging their name into NBA history and it begins the discussion of how their careers will compare to the guys on the way out…although I think Vic will put his gigantic name in the discussion in the very not too distant future as well.

[Onlytimewilltel]

I love it

[Harry Garris]

Finals MVP is going to be 25 or younger without mvp or finals mvp yet, crazy

Unless it’s Jaylen Brown or Derrick White. Tatum is by no means a guarantee to win finals MVP if the Celtics win it

[OldSchoolNoBull]

The league goes through phases.

After Bill Russell retired in 1969, no team repeated for 19 years, until the Showtime Lakers repeated in 1988.

And then there was a period from then until 2002 where only one team DIDN'T repeat(the 99 Spurs). Showtime repeated, Bad Boys repeated, Bulls three-peated, Rockets repeated, Bulls three-peated again, Shaq/Kobe Lakers three-peated.

From 2003 onward, only three teams have repeated - Kobe/Gasol Lakers, Heatles, and Warriors.

[ItsDanger]

There is a large underrated variance factor in some of the styles chosen by teams.
