The early NBA season has brought a wave of strong reactions, with several major storylines already drawing scrutiny.
Among the questions being examined: whether a 29-year-old player is emerging as the league’s next breakout star, whether Miami’s new era with Giannis Antetokounmpo is already in trouble, and whether the Thunder, Knicks and Warriors are facing problems that should be taken seriously.
The discussion centers on separating legitimate early trends from overreactions, assessing which narratives have substance and which may be premature based on the opening stretch of the season.
