LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama Ignite Unforgettable First Round Showdowns—Which Star Will Rewrite Playoff History?
The first round of the NBA playoffs is an adventure. All of the preparation to diagnose what a team is, what its tendencies are, and what schemes could work to turn the opponent into something else. It’s a constant battle with one team trying to figure out how to get one side to stop being great, and the other working to put it back on the table.
A lot of times these efforts can be intense in the moment, then lost to a bracket historically. I wanted to salute the things that have stuck out in this opening round as we enter its closing weekend. Matchups make battles, stars make fights and moments should live on — even as building blocks toward the rest of the playoffs. So let’s talk about some of the players who have defined the first round so far.
