When was the last time a season was this stacked? (alien.top)

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?

We're on a trend. Great players are playing longer. The last generation of great players are still great. In the 90s KD, Steph and LeBron would be washed up or severely diminished by now. Also as the league got more global they've opened up their talent pool by a couple billion people. And now arguably 4 of the top 5 in the league are international players.
