The NBA is, and has always been, evolving. That never-ending evolution, which seems to be happening at a fast pace, is not only happening on the court but off the court as well. That is why we always find ourselves wondering how players in the past might fare in today’s generation.
If you were in charge of scheduling NBA games, how would you start the season? What game would you showcase on the very first day?
