2024 NBA Season

[stadus]

Also, for us bettors, it's not only our time to enjoy watching again but our time to enjoy betting as well.

Of course, the excitement in betting will begin once the NBA will resume.

We can make this gambling thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091185.2600 active once again.

The first game will be on July 30 and when I think of that everyday, it seems I am already waiting it for too long.
I think we can also make a good discussion now about the NBA Futures since covid-19 will certainly become a factor to affect its outcome.
As for me, I'll look for a heavy dog with good odds which I think has a great chance to upset the best teams in the NBA now.

There is always the next year. It's still better to be healthy and alive rather than being ashes in an urn.

Ohh, this a bit too harsh  . NBA players are young and healthy so if they got the virus, they will just dust it off, i think.

I'm excited for NBA's return and i'm preparing some crypto's for the betting but somehow worried because landscape will drastically change.

Do you think that Lebron James and the Lakers will keep the same intensity that they had before the lockdown considering that LBJ was vocal against playing on a crowd less arena? Do they remain the favorite to win the title this season?

Do they remain the favorite to win the title this season?

As of now in our favorite sportsbook, the LA Lakers is still the favorites to win an NBA championship.

Check on this site, https://nitrogensports.eu/sport/Basketball/NBA%20-%20Futures, they currently have the betting open.

Nothing's changed, LA Lakers still the heavy favorite to win.. I think I like the Denver Nuggets odds, who among you here guys that have put a bet on the NBA futures between high odds team like the Nuggets, Mavericks and the Raptors, of course the depending champion, we should not underestimate their line up.

Some updates poppin here.

Damian Lillard was one of the three cover athletes in NBA 2K21. I like it and Dame is deserving to one of it.

Kawhi and Kobe for the legend edition, anyone?

Oh yeah! I forgot about that other thread already.
I like staying there and being envious of the sports gamblers who are winning so much.  
Thanks for bumping that again and soon we will also see each one again posting our your wins.   Sorry, I lose more.

Let's all hope that the number of tested positive will not increase anymore.
Again, Adam Silver won't hesitate to stop it if ever the number will go higher.

2K will definitely go with Kobe, dude not only was probably one of the best to play the game ever, and had the second highest scoring game in the league, probably one of the most known players in the world etc etc all the kobe stuff, but he was also in 2K before as well, with Michael B. Jordan and Kobe they had one year, I think it was either 2k17 or 2k18 when he was in the game. Games coming back is still one month away, I know people are getting hyped about it and get super excited about it but we still have another month.

We really can't know whats going to happen in USA during that time, we are talking about increasing number of infected people and dead people and we are talking about a president who wants to cut testing numbers down and we have people rioting outside, I do not see future of USA nicely and that scares me about potentially postponing even further as well.

Dame lookin' cool there though. But I think it will look much more better if they used his iconic dame-time pose instead of him flexin' his muscle haha  .

Kawhi and Kobe for the legend edition, anyone?

Damn, I already miss Kobe  . I still can't believe he's gone now.

Yeah, situation at US is a mess. Dunno but I don't think the league would dare to cancel the game again although the situation outside is  getting worse, not unless they ran out of available players that can participate on July 30. Everything have been already set the only thing needed is that, players must came out negative from the virus  .

Not against Dame but Kawhi should be the cover for NBA 2k21 for me.

Then Kobe Bryant for Legend Edition for an obvious reason.

No ETA for the release (or I just missed it) but if the usual release date will follow, it should be by October or November disregarding the pandemic status*.

Agree with that because Leonard was the best player last season, not based on MVP status but getting a win for the Raptors in the championship.
Does it mean that Leonard was not really that good in marketing the NBA products because he is not a vocal kind of player?

I reviewed Dame's work this season and I don't see anything special.

In most cases, NBA 2k's cover is related to a player the makes sound or buzz during the previous season.

Their reason is:

"From his cultural influence, musical success, off the court leadership, and on court domination, he's the perfect fit for our cover of NBA 2K21 on current-generation platforms; we're honored to have him."

Good to know Dame already got his and for the legend edition I think that'll be for Kobe no doubt for it. But it would be interesting if some other players would have it maybe like Luka or the aspiring rookies.

He did make a buzz last year playing for WCF.
Even my neighbors are screaming Blazers and Dame Time every game against GSW. 
But before that, they were GSW fans. 

I didn't know they are also considering the other skills criteria here. That could be new.
Are they aiming their market sales in the music industry too? He is successful on that part.
As of the legend edition, no doubt it should be for Kobe.
I hope the family he left already healed their wounds.

Here's the massive price tag the NBA is reportedly paying to play its season at Disney World

During an episode ESPN’s “The Jump,” Brian Windhorst reported that the NBA bubble will cost the league $150 million, or $1.5 million per day for 22 teams to play eight regular season games then the playoffs.

Bad news came from New Orleans Pelicans whose three players were positively infected with COVID19. But unfortunately David Griffin
is vice president the New Orleans Pelicans team declined to name three of their players with COVID19. But David Griffin confirmed
the three players quarantined. Whereas last week the NBA announced 16 players tested positive for COVID19, out of the 22 teams that
will be performing at Walt Disney World Orlando. Hopefully this virus does not spread again, because if it spreads more and more fear
there will be another game delay. The New Orleans Pelicans will have their first match on July 30 against Utah Jazz, hopefully their
schedules will not change and all three players positive COVID19 can recover soon.

I think they should be transparent, as a fan we are also concern so it's nice if the NBA would make it transparent for everyone.
Now that the Pelicans are aiming for a playoff spot, they might struggle if one of the infected are part of the starting line up, I'm hoping now especially ZION.

I agree with you, if other teams make it public, why can't they.
I mean, what's the reason of keeping that information private when NBA is a public entertainment that everyone are interested to know.

With this news, would that hugely affect their chances now?
Need some thoughts here as there are odds available now from sportsbook shared in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091185.msg54712043#msg54712043

There's still ample time for those positive players to catch the match if they recover within less than a month. But I don't think they will be allowed to play instead, they will be allowed to be there on the bench watching the team compete.

Wishing them the best for speedy recovery.

They can return to play if they recovers faster, but the question is, are they fully healthy to play again without proper practice together with the team?
I think if they can play, that would be after the regular season, so Pelicans has to qualify for these players to be in the line up again.

Kawhi and Kobe for the legend edition, anyone?

I go for the Kobe version in the legend edition since this might be his last cover in NBA game to remember him well. I'm sure most of the gamers will do the same if they can only afford to buy one. We can say this is our way to support him even he is no longer around. Kobe is indeed a legend no NBA players will play like him.
