The NBA preseason is fun. Seriously, hear me out.
Obviously, it’s not as fun as the regular season, but it’s fun in its own ways. You get to see some of your favorite players back out on the court, even if it’s only for a few minutes here and there. It also means real basketball is right around the corner.
For some, though, preseason is “real” basketball. No, the result doesn’t matter, but it’s somewhat of a tryout. There are 20 guys on the Dallas Mavericks’ training camp roster, but only 17 can be under contract during the regular season (15, plus the two-way guys).
