I cannot wait to hear what Nate has to say about this contract. He has openly said that we are going to be shocked by the number on this one.

Shady under the table agreements from 2 years ago just came due for the Bucks. Lol

For some reason, all of the NBA's broadcast partners this entire season have been misidentifying the season in which Play-By-Play data started being tracked.

ABC, NBC, & Prime have been saying "since 1997-98" -- which is incorrect.

The correct year that Play-By-Play data goes back to is 1996-97.

Here's the latest example: ABC screenshot of 2026 NBA Finals game 5 with 9:42 left in 3rd quarter.

My theory is that someone in charge of these broadcasts asked a stat guy when it went back to, and he answered "1997" (which colloquially among NBA fans means 1996-97), but the person making the graphic incorrectly interpreted it as meaning 1997-98.

I feel like I need to get in touch with someone to get these broadcast partners to cite the correct year on tv next season, but I don't know how to go about this.
