I always wanted to follow the NBA, but legally viewing it in my country was too expensive for me while I was a student. However, after finishing uni and starting a new job I decided to get League Pass and watch some basketball! Due to timezones, I will only rarely catch games live, but I’m excited to wake up to the VODs. But looking at the schedule, it feels overwhelming.

Tell me which teams I should watch (and root for) and why?
What are the storylines going into this season? Which players should I look out for and what are the most hyped prospects?
Are there any podcasts you can recommend for insights into the league?

I’m happy for any pointers you can give me and I’m looking forward to the season!
