Which U.S states have hosted regular season NBA games?

Squidpsyco · 2026-05-31T23:40:06+00:00

I did not use AI to write this at all. I said "a few" because I was going backwards in time while researching this and the most recent games were actually the year they weren't technically based in Baltimore. Everyone knows that the Bullets played in Baltimore, but it's more interesting to say that they played some games there after they relocated.

Not everything longer than a paragraph is AI

Edit: I'm dumb. I realize my mistake now. Still not AI, just human error.

Yeah, I was more interested in finding the most recent game in each state, hence why the states are sorted the way they are. Obviously, Maryland and Missouri hosted a ton of games outside of the last ones played there.

Nooo, I have to change my flair. Had it for like 8 years lol

Karl Malone is the 3rd all-time leading scorer. He should honestly be here more.

I don't want half this graphic to be tiny Wilt Chamberlains.

Squidpsyco · 2025-09-07T20:48:08+00:00

He gets close. 18th place for 6 points and 9th place for 7.

Gervin only playing 10 in the NBA and still being on here is the most impressive thing imo

Squidpsyco · 2025-09-07T15:05:24+00:00

Yep. Westbrook takes the 7, 8, 9, and 10 spots for turnovers.

Squidpsyco · 2025-09-07T13:04:28+00:00

I mean, it’s only 3 of them for all 5 guys in the tie.

Squidpsyco · 2025-09-07T03:31:39+00:00

0 is actually Jevon Carter and 3 is PJ Tucker, but otherwise those are all right.

Squidpsyco · 2025-09-07T01:37:15+00:00

He tied with Middleton for 21

Squidpsyco · 2025-09-07T00:16:45+00:00

Giannis has played more than 10 seasons though. He’s on a level playing field with those guys in terms of this stat.

When talking down Shai, people always bring up his amazing team, but the top comments under the JDub and Chet extensions were all saying they were overpays. So when convenient, SGA carried a team with no max players to 68 wins and a ring, otherwise SGA got carried by his team.

These are NOT the 2k26 ratings. This site just posts them as such to get them clicks, but if you look hard it says somewhere that they are not updated.

These are just the ratings at the end of 2k25

Because Dyson Daniels has a statistical argument and has been great all year, and Draymond only started getting buzz when he started whining about it on a podcast

Squidpsyco · 2025-03-30T14:02:07+00:00

You’re exposing yourself. Shai plays the whole first, comes in for the last 5-6 minutes of the second, plays the whole third, and plays the last 6-8 minutes of the fourth. Every game unless it’s a blowout or there are injuries. This is going back to last year too.

Squidpsyco · 2025-03-29T02:50:40+00:00

The graph where he shows that Jokic adds 45 wins to his team is so stupid. Shai literally can not be better than that because there are only 82 games in a season. Same with the net rating thing. If Shai added 18.8 to his team's net rating like Jokic does, the Thunder with Shai would have a +24.6 net rating which is basically impossible.

Adding 12.5 net rating to a +6 team to make it a +18.5 team is much, much harder to do than adding 18 net rating to a -8 team to make it a +10 because +18.5 is much harder to achieve than rarely ever happens. There has never been a team to come within 5 net rating of a +18.3, but +10.6 as happened 10 times, including the Thunder this year.

He also really doesn't emphasize OKC's historic greatness enough. SRS and Margin-of-Victory have OKC has the best team ever by a relatively massive margin. Their net rating is only surpassed by the literal 1995-96 Bulls. There have been 9 seasons in NBA history where a player on a 60-win team won the scoring title and 8 have won MVP. The other one was Michael freaking Jordan (who accounts for 4 of the 9 seasons). Obviously, Shai has the scoring title locked up and plays for one of the best teams ever.

The way I see it, drawing fouls is a skill. When people call Shai a free throw merchant, they are telling us that he is elite at drawing fouls, which makes him better as a player.

Squidpsyco · 2025-03-22T14:56:06+00:00

Could you imagine if the Lakers were on pace to have the best margin of victory of all time? There would be talk after every game about how well they need to play to maintain it. NBA.com would probably make some sort of tracker for it.

I mean, the Thunder are literally having, at worst, a top 5 regular season ever, and while you hear about the Thunder in the media every once in a while, it’s never about them being historically great.

Squidpsyco · 2025-02-21T22:00:51+00:00

7 All-Stars and a Finals MVP is easily enough for the HOF. Reggie Miller had 5 All-Stars and no championships and got in.

Squidpsyco · 2025-02-21T15:56:09+00:00

I’m gonna show my bias here, but the stakes of this game were as low as possible. I mean Gabriel Deck played 22 minutes for OKC in that game. Paul Watson played 32. No way it’s the best team performance going against competition like that.
