Team power became visible. CBS Sports, a U.S. sports media, ranked 30 teams in the 2024-2025 season on the 6th (Korea time).
The first place is the defending champion Boston Celtics. It is the strongest team that dominated both the regular league and the playoffs last season.
64 wins and 18 losses. It ranks first overall in the regular league. It is the only team with a winning percentage (780 percent). It was also overwhelming in the playoffs.
The same goes for this season. Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown have re-signed. The super one-two punch is in good shape. Kristaps Porzingis, one of the main players in last season's championship, still has durability issues, but Boston is the most overwhelming.
The runner-up is the Oklahoma City Thunder. Last season, Shai Gilzer Alexander was the center of the new players' attention. The weaknesses of the under-the-basket rebound and lack of experience overlapped in the playoffs. In the end, he did not reach the top of the West. However, last season is a valuable experience. There is a high possibility that it will become stronger this season. In addition, Alex Caruso and Isaiah Halstenstein, who will add stickiness to defense and rebounds, were brought in.
The New York Knicks, who were more powerful with Towns, took third place. New York, which has been in the middle and lower ranks of the East, rebounded last season and is aiming to win this season as the NBA's best big market team.
Fourth place is the Dallas Mavericks, who are combined with Luca Doncic and Kyrie Irving to Clay Thompson.
The fifth place was the Denver Nuggets, where Nikola Jokic was holding out, the sixth place was Joel Embiid and Tyreece Maxey, and the Philadelphia 76ers, where Paul George made the big three.
In addition, the 7th place was the Minnesota Timberwolves, the top-ranked team in the West last season, which sent Towns and brought Julius Randle, the Milwaukee Bucks, the 9th place, the Phoenix Suns, and the New Orleans Pelicans, the 10th place.
The traditional Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers ranked 16th and 17th, respectively. Not sure of a direct playoff ticket given up to 6th in the East and West Conferences.
The San Antonio Spurs, where Victor Wembanyama holds out, which could be a full-fledged MVP season this season, ranked 21st.
