Dunkin' with Dom Episode #65: NBA 75th Anniversary Team Talk, including General Thoughts, Roster Takes, the Challenges of Comparing Eras, Issues with Criteria, Team Snubs, and more with Pablo Puga
Welcome to the sixty-fifth episode of the Dunkin' with Dom podcast! With the official release of the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team, Pablo and I take an entire episode to break it all down. We'll start by generally talking about how far the NBA has come, where it's going, how it got here, and what were some of the challenges along the way. Then, we'll talk about what makes picking the NBA's "best" 75 players ever, including the challenging of defining "the best", difficulties comparing across eras, shifts in styles of play/rules, the older versus newer debate, valuing individual versus team performance, and more. Lastly, we'll talk about some snubs (Dwight Howard, Klay Thompson) and some borderline guys (Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard). Today's guest(s): Pablo Puga
