The 2024-25 NBA season is underway and there are plenty of storylines to follow.
It begins at the top with the defending champion Celtics, who are running things back to try to become the first team to defend its title in eight years. It won’t be easy, as the 76ers, Mavericks, Knicks, Thunder and Timberwolves each made major offseason moves to dethrone the champs.
Narrow the lens to the game’s biggest stars and there’s arguably even more to follow.
LeBron James will take the floor for a record-tying 22nd NBA season, Anthony Edwards will look to take another leap toward superstardom, Dallas’ Luka Doncic and Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will vie to win MVP for the first time while Denver’s Nikola Jokic will look to make it back-to-back MVP awards for the second time of his career. As for the next generation, San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama will surely have big things in store for Year 2, Toronto’s Scottie Barnes will look to make an All-NBA leap after making his All-Star debut in 2024 and Memphis’ Zach Edey will look to make a run for Rookie of the Year.
