What actually made the 2025-26 NBA season unforgettable?
Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones Jr. are joined by The Ringer’s Zach Lowe for a full NBA joy ride through the moments, players, trends and random games that stuck with them all year.
The crew hits everything: Giannis Antetokounmpo trade buzz, the Knicks’ championship parade, Steph Curry and Al Horford saving one last Warriors-Clippers play-in classic, the shocking rise of the Charlotte Hornets, Detroit’s nasty defense, Ausar Thompson wrecking possessions, Victor Wembanyama bending offenses, Bam Adebayo’s unreal 83-point game, Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s breakout, Ty Jerome’s heater, the return of full-court pressure, and why the dunker spot itself had a real comeback season.
This is not a normal season recap. This is the stuff NBA sickos will remember.
