After silently judging as I scrolled through posts riddled with hot takes from 5 years ago I thought...

What are your hottest takes about how the NBA will look 5 years from now? (Go wild with your guesses, nobody will be judging you......)

My hot takes are

Josh Giddy will be in the MVP race
The Booklyn Nets will have either made or won the finals due to Bridges and Ben Simmons showing out
LeBron will continue to refuse to retire, while still putting up 18/4/4. And will blame it on wanting to play with his wife's uncles barbers daughters stepson 17 years from now.

Five years from now, in 2028, the NBA will…

• …still call it a blocking foul when the ball-handler drives into a defender who was matching pace and maintaining position between them and the basket.

• …still have a “restricted area” that causes unnecessary delays to review whether an obvious offensive foul can technically be called a defensive foul based on tiny positioning differences.

• …still require defenders to remain perfectly motionless when the ball-handler intentionally runs into them at full speed, and if they move even slightly to protect themself it will be a blocking foul.

• …still allow the ball-handler to get free throws by jumping into a defender who jumped vertically to contest a pump-fake, instead of needing to make a basketball play that takes advantage of the defender not being able to react again quickly.

• …still let players put their hand under the ball while dribbling, and take extra steps while “gathering”.
