The 2018-19 NBA season was one for the ages

The 2018-19 NBA season was one for the ages. A record 1,112 record-setting or tied games were played, including an all-time high of 48 games that were decided by three or fewer points. That’s nearly five percent of the season’s total games! The Houston Rockets set a single-season record with 24 made three-pointers in a game, while the Golden State Warriors tied the single-season mark for fewest losses in a season with just 15.

The Warriors won their third consecutive NBA Finals defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games. It was the first time in Finals history that the same two teams had met four times in a row. Warriors forward Kevin Durant was named Finals MVP for the second straight year.

The regular season MVP was Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks It was the second time in his young career that he’d won the award. The other major individual awards were won by:
– Rookie of the Year: Luka Doncic Dallas Mavericks
– Defensive Player of the Year: Rudy Gobert Utah Jazz
– sixth man of the Year: Lou Williams Los Angeles Clippers
– Most Improved Player Pascal Siakam, Toronto Raptors
– Coach of the Year: Mike Budenholzer, Milwaukee Bucks

The Warriors dynasty crumbles as the Raptors take home the championship

It was a dynasty that seemed destined to last for years. The Warriors won three championships in four years, cementing their place among the NBA’s all-time great teams. But in the span of a few short months, it all came crashing down.

First, star forward Kevin Durant suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the Finals, which not only cost him the rest of the series but also put his future with the team in doubt. Then, just days after the Warriors lost the Finals to the Toronto Raptors veteran center Andre Iguodala was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in a cost-cutting move.

With Durant’s future up in the air and Iguodala gone, it’s clear that the Warriors’ dynasty is over. The Raptors are the new champions, and there’s no telling who will rise to take their place.

Kawhi Leonard’s incredible journey to becoming an NBA champion

Kawhi Leonard’s incredible journey to becoming an NBA Champion began long before he ever set foot on an NBA court Born in Los Angeles Leonard grew up in a tough neighbourhood and was often involved in fights. When he was just 12 years old, his father was killed in a drive-by shooting which had a profound impact on young Kawhi.

Despite the tragedy, Kawhi continued to work hard on his game and ended up earning a scholarship to play college basketball at San Diego State University Leonard had a successful two years at San Diego State but decided to forego his final two years of eligibility to enter the 2011 NBA draft

Leonard was selected with the 15th overall pick by the Indiana Pacers but was immediately traded to the San Antonio Spurs. It was with the Spurs that Leonard would begin his ascent to superstardom, winning NBA Defensive Player of the Year twice and being named to three All-Star teams.

In the summer of 2018, Leonard shocked the Basketball World by requesting a trade from the Spurs. After months of speculation, Leonard was finally traded to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Demar Derozan and other pieces.

The 2018-19 season would be a historic one for Leonard and the Raptors.Led by Leonard’s 27.5 points per game the Raptors won a franchise-record 59 games and earned the second seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. In the playoffs, Leonard took his game to another level, averaging 31.2 points per game as he led the Raptors on an improbable run to their first-ever NBA Championship

The rise and fall of the Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets had a very successful season last year. They made it to the Conference Finals and were one of the best teams in the league. However, this year they have not been doing so well. They have lost several Key Players and their new players have not been living up to expectations. As a result, the team has struggled and is currently out of playoff contention. This is a huge disappointment for their fans, who were hoping they would be able to build on their success from last year.

The young stars of the NBA take over

The young stars of the league are not just scoring points. They are also leading their teams to victory. In the 2018-19 season, there were eight rookies who averaged at least 15 points per game and led their team in scoring.

Even though they are young, these players are already making an impact on the league. The young stars of the NBA are poised to take over the league for years to come.

The Milwaukee Bucks dominate the regular season

In the 2018-19 season, the Milwaukee Bucks had the best record in the NBA, finishing with a 60-22 record. Led by MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo the Bucks swept their way through the first two rounds of the playoffs before losing to the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals
