Basketball is undeniably an evolving sport. From the run and gun in the ‘60s to the physical slugfest in the ‘90s to the “threes and frees” of today, the game has transformed and reinvented itself over and over again. On the court, the adoption of big data and advanced analytics have changed the game forever – a change debated for better or for worse. Off the court, the globalization of the game and the emphasis on load management have altered how fans view the league. On this panel, NBA executives, front office insiders, coaches and players will discuss these themes and explore what’s next in this ever-evolving game.
