The 75th season of the best league in the world opened tonight (Tuesday to Wednesday), and without a doubt one of the great moments we will remember from the opening night is the championship ring ceremony held before the game between the Milwaukee champions and Brooklyn.
Milwaukee player Chris Middleton was as excited as anyone: "Milwaukee, we did it, finally! We have to thank a lot of people and especially the fans, without them it would not have happened. Even when you were here, in the hall, outside or around the world - we felt you. Thank you." .

Meanwhile, the second game of the night brought together the LA Lakers and Golden State, in which the Warriors won.
The team from Los Angeles already has seven losses (six in preparation) and they continue to look bad at the start of the season.
Russell Westbork was at the center, with his eighth worst game in history (8 points in 35 minutes).
LeBron James defended the quarterback at the end: "I think a lot of things went through his mind. Still, he's a kid from Los Angeles and he's been under a lot of pressure. I can only imagine how many friends and family have contacted him in the last 48 hours and wondered if they "They can come and see his first game as a Laker. Those demands will disappear as the season goes on. I do not worry about Ras at all."
Game 1 of 82 in the books.
