The Boston Celtics enter the NBA season as the reigning champions, looking to add to their success by potentially surpassing the San Antonio Spurs for the top spot in the all-time won-lost standings among active franchises. The Spurs currently hold the top spot with a winning percentage of .596, only slightly ahead of the Celtics’ .594. If San Antonio goes 41-41 this season, Boston would need to go 47-35 to overtake them.
In the Western Conference, the race for the No. 1 seed in the playoffs is unpredictable, with seven different teams holding that spot in the last seven seasons. Players like Luka Doncic, Kevin Durant, and others are on track to achieve significant milestones in their careers this season. Chris Paul is entering his 20th season, aiming to climb further on the all-time assists and steals lists.
Coaching milestones are also in play, with Erik Spoelstra in his 17th season as the Heat’s coach, and several other coaches approaching significant win totals. Russell Westbrook is one triple-double away from 200 in his career, showcasing his unique ability on the court. With many players and teams poised to achieve historic milestones, the upcoming NBA season promises to be exciting and full of record-breaking moments.
