The new NBA season will officially tip off on October 21, but it unofficially begins today with media days kicking off around the league.
On Monday, most of the teams in the NBA will hold their media days, with the exception of the five teams who held media days last week ahead of their participation in international preseason contests. As is annually the case with media days, there will be an onslaught of new information, funny clips, and fresh previews of the upcoming season. It is the first time fans will hear from many of their favorite players after an offseason free of any media obligations. New faces acquired over the offseason make their introductions to the local media and the fanbase.
