Yeah I always like the no Thursday games until after thanksgiving. No one knows who’s going to be good the first half the season.
The result is the matchups are bad and the short week, without already having played half a season, makes it a sloppy game on top of it.
I think this is the most accurate timeline. Duncan and the spurs won the finals after Jordan retired.
Shaq won a mvp and then 3 peated. From 99-01
Duncan won 2 mvps and a few more titles up from 02- 07.
Then Kobe won his mvp and 2/3 finals. From 08-10
Next Lebron won his mvps and made 8 straight trips to the finals. From 2010-2018
After he left the cavs, it was a toss up. Between kawhai, Durant, curry, Giannis.
And then jokic has won back to back mvps followed by a finals run.
