The 2019-20 NBA schedule is out and the league has decided that the New Orleans Pelicans are the ninth most exciting and most bankable sports’ city this upcoming season.
The 30-nationally televised games have been understandably linked to number one overall draft pick, Zion Williamson and for good reason. The Duke phenom helped record the largest rated college basketball game in 11 years when he exited the Blue Devils 88-72 loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels with a knee injury.
After being drafted by the Pelicans, Williamson then drew record breaking crowds and audiences in his nine minute Las Vegas Summer League debut.
