Well, that’s a wrap, folks. The exciting2020/21 NBA regular season is already in the history books. The reigning champions Los Angeles Lakers will have a tough time going back to the Finals, the Philadelphia 76ers are legit contenders, and the Sacramento Kings tied a historically poor streak of 15 years without making the playoffs.
These are just two of the biggest takeaways from the regular season. But, with the playoffs right around the corner, we’ve yet to see the best basketball of the year, and we couldn’t be more excited about that.
We witnessed some incredible performances this season. From Stephen Curry’s 62-point explosion to Russell Westbrook’s 21 rebounds and 24 assists, this was a season for the ages. For that, we’ll present you with the league leaders in every major stat this season.
