thinking basketball podcast my name is

my name is Ben you know what time it is. Welcome back to the 19th annual preview featuring the

athletics Dave Du4. Dave you and I would like to preview whatever we can get our hands on and this case is going to be the 2021

2022 75th anniversary

NBA season

Welcome back. How you doing my friend? I'm fantastic. Wait, are we are we just going along with this 75th anniversary bullshit?

I like arbitrary numbers. But isn't it actually like the 73rd anniversary?

Look, look, look, a long time ago, the BAA and I think it was the NBL, they, you know, NBA, it's like, okay, we're going to take the first couple

of years of the BAA and we're going to bring that in and that's going to count.

And those have been the numbers we've been using for a while, we can't break form at this point right we had the 50th anniversary was 25 years ago.

Yeah I actually think I didn't listen to your top 75 podcast which you know

That's only part one is out part two is next next week. That's the one you really I'm sure it's great I'm sure it's great but you know I'm kind of I try to live in the present.

But my thinking on this top 75 is that they really should have just left the top 50

from 25 years ago and then just added 25 guys from the last 25 years.

You there are many people that... No I don't.

There are many people that think that...

I think something like that...

Doesn't that tell the story of the league better right

sort of but isn't that the purpose like we're not actually trying to come up with the

75 best NBA players because if you did that none of the guys that played before like I don't know

1981 would be on the list because they were garbage.

No they were good. They were plumbers no they were they were good.
