While I fully understand the fan frustration about having to bounce around for national games, I have really enjoyed the variety of voices and quality of production (last night’s Amazon blunder notwithstanding). And the league is understandably geeked about these numbers.
NBA Communications@NBAPR

170 million people in the U.S. watched NBA games across ABC/ESPN, Amazon Prime Video, NBC/Peacock and NBA TV during the regular season – the most in 24 years and up 86% vs. last season.

How did the Charlotte Hornets become NBA darlings? I took a trip to Charlotte to find out for @TheAthletic. The vibes are good in Charlotte and the future is bright thanks to Kon, LaMelo and Co. 🔓nytimes.com/athletic/71938…

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Warriors record setting 73rd regular season win in 2016. The season didn’t end the way they wanted it to — but it’s a moment in time that players and coaches have come to appreciate even more over the years. nytimes.com/athletic/71921…

The Athletic’s 2026 Anonymous NBA Player Poll asked 161 players to name the team, other than their own franchise, that will win the title in June. The Oklahoma City Thunder are considered the team to beat, and for good reason.

Sources: Despite the Kings’ brutal season, and amid league-wide speculation that they might make a coaching change, Doug Christie is safe. Why the Kings chose to keep him at the helm for next season, and where they go from here, at @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/71889…

NEW feature: “As you can tell, they don’t miss no meals. They fat as shit.” A day on the ranch with Keldon Johnson involves everything from horses eating cameras, “asshole” donkeys chasing llamas, to random headlocks from KJ himself. It’s all part of the harmonious balance of tranquility and chaos that makes Johnson who he is and who he wants to be: 6th Man of the Year. He sat down with @TheAthletic on the dock of his pond overlooking Texas Hill Country to explore the feeling of freedom and responsibility on the farm and in the NBA. Read it unlocked here: nytimes.com/athletic/71873…

I was fun-employed and missed so much happening in the world of sports. Mostly, I missed writing. So here we go, good people, more words!!!! (P.S. Montreal bagels go harder than New York’s) nytimes.com/athletic/71845…
