Lowe's 2023-24 NBA League Pass Rankings: Teams 30-11 in watchability and fun

It's time for our 12th annual NBA League Pass Rankings -- a tradition that started at a now-defunct website mostly because my old boss enjoyed making fun of the early 2010s Washington Wizards.

These are NOT power rankings! They are watchability ratings derived from a secret algorithm Bill Simmons found scrawled on beer-soaked parchment paper under his seat at the old Boston Garden.

We score teams 1-10 in five categories:

Zeitgeist: Do normal people care about this team?

Highlight potential: Should you linger in case some passing savant or outrageous leaper uncorks something you might never see again?
