History of the NBA 1966-2025

So, how did the NBA get from 9 teams (1965-66) to the current 30? Answer: legends, stars, mergers, a strong commissioner, timing, the 1992 Summer Olympics and an influx of foreign players.

Note the rule changes (when did the NBA go from man-to-man defense to zone?), how NBA handled CV-19, and who won the new the 2024 2025 In-Season Tournament. 

You get: Standings, League News, trades, in-season games, lists of rookies and those playing out their last year, top player stats, year-end awards and Finals outcomes.
