The reigning champion Denver Nuggets are favored to come out of the Western Conference, while the Boston Celtics are the overwhelming favorites to represent the Eastern Conference.
Meanwhile, older legends like LeBron James and Kevin Durant will be looking to cement their historic careers with another title despite being underdogs in their respective series.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver has to be pleased with all the star power in this year’s playoffs and fans are surely excited to see who takes it all come June.

Set to the new single titled “Everyday Hustle” by Future and Metro Boomin, the video features several edits of past and present superstars representing the teams in the playoffs.
For example, James can be seen dapping up Kobe Bryant in the team’s white jerseys, while Jayson Tatum is featured in a black and white clip next to Bill Russell.
The video also features Nikola Jokic throwing a lob to Carmelo Anthony, as well as Kevin Garnett hanging his arm over Anthony Edwards.
Funnily enough, the clip also has a shot of Luka Doncic and Dirk Nowitzki who were teammates for a year before the latter retired.
It’s an excellent piece of work that sets the mood for the playoffs.
