The 2021-22 season of the NBA is getting closer and closer and after the revelation of the regular phase calendar, there are several games that have generated a lot of expectation among the fans.
Here are 5 dates that should be marked on the calendar for the new campaign of the so-called best basketball in the world.
What better start to the season than the current NBA champions, the Bucks, facing the Nets, their greatest rivals. It will also be a rematch of the most recent Eastern Conference semifinals, in which Giannis Antetokounmpo led his team to win in seven games.
Few confrontations generate more morbidity than Luka Doncic vs. LeBron James, especially because of the status the Slovenian has earned as the future benchmark of the league. This showdown has become very attractive to fans in recent seasons.
The Christmas duel that everyone wanted, the Big Three of the Lakers and the Nets defining which one dominates the other. It will be the clash between the two top championship favorites with LeBron James and Kevin Durant on board, leading their squads.
Kyle Lowry is considered by many the best Raptor in history and although he will return to Toronto representing the Miami Heat, there will surely be many displays of affection from the Canadian fans. Lowry was his top reference for the past nine seasons.
Another very interesting duel with a revenge flavor will be played by the Bucks visiting the Suns, within the framework of the reissue of the NBA Finals 2021. Those led by Chris Paul and Devin Booker will seek to defeat those who denied them their championship opportunity.
