The 2022-23 NBA offseason as told by social media
The 2022-23 NBA regular season is less than 24 hours away, but before the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Boston Celtics in the season opener, there's a lot to catch up on from the offseason.
From weddings and magical summer basketball to a scuffle among teammates, there has been plenty of activity during the NBA's absence.
Here is a month-by-month overview of the biggest moments of the offseason:
Scotty Pippen Jr. and Shareef O'Neal, sons of NBA Hall of Famers Scottie Pippen and Shaquille O'Neal, teamed up on the Los Angeles Lakers for the California Classic and NBA 2K23 Summer League in Las Vegas.
Both players acknowledged the high bar set by their fathers.
«I would definitely say there's a different type of camaraderie for guys whose dads played in the NBA,» said Pippen Jr.
«I know it's always going to be there, the comparison,» O'Neal said. «Every kid is going to get compared to their dad who does the same thing as them. So that's going to be there. It doesn't bother me.»
