When we think of NBA Basketball, we think of Lebron James, Kawhi Leonard, Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden, and many more star players creating a spectacle each night. The NBA has its flaws, like officiating, load management, and tampering, however, the NBA is still the powerhouse of basketball. 

If you like James Harden dropping 40 points a night, new names like Luka Doncic blossoming into their full potential, LeBron James continuing his legacy at age 34, then the NBA is for you. You are watching the best players in the world every night. 

In College Basketball, you’ll only know a handful of players that are projected to be NBA ready, but not everyone is good enough.

Plus, you have the best commentators that will work NBA games. If you can’t get enough of Kevin Harlan, Marv Albert, and Mike Breen’s classic call “BANG”, it’s hard to envision you enjoying NBA basketball on a nightly basis. 

The rivalries are also a major part of the NBA. Sure, you’ll get Duke vs North Carolina, Louisville vs Kentucky, and Michigan vs Michigan State — But there is nothing like Joel Embiid getting into heated brawls with Karl-Anthony Towns, and LeBron James trash-talking Steph Curry in the 2016 finals. 

It’s not just during the season, we all know how exciting the NBA offseason can be for all basketball fans. When credentialed ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski is breaking news during the free agency period, it’s an exciting time to find out where star players end up for the next season. 

The NBA Draft Lottery is a day that could make or break a team’s future for years to come. The anticipation for fans that have suffered through a tough 82 game season comes down to the NBA Draft Lottery, where pinballs determine your draft position. A different number combination can determine the talent you are acquiring through the NBA Draft. 

Ever since the Golden State Warriors lost to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 NBA Finals, the parody in the NBA has never been better. Kevin Durant left the Warriors to join Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George decided to team up with the Los Angeles Clippers, and Anthony Davis got sent to the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster trade from the New Orleans Pelicans.

As great as the Warriors dynasty has been, and all the years of Warriors vs Cavaliers in the NBA Finals, it’s nice to see some impactful moves happening throughout the league. 

It will be very interesting to see who comes out of the Western Conference. Will Lebron and AD from the Lakers return to the finals for the first time since 2010? Can the Clippers overcome their playoff woes with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George? 

The same can be said in College Basketball.  Can one team claim a number one spot consistently? Can Butler get back to the big dance? 

The NBA and NCAA are both highly entertaining to watch if you’re a basketball fan, but if you want to watch the best players in the world compete at their highest level, the NBA is for you.
