“The 2021-22 season will be truly special as we celebrate 75 years of NBA basketball. We look forward to honoring the players and teams – both past and present – who have inspired generations of fans around the world,”  NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said.

The 2021-22 NBA season will also be commemorated as NBA 75.

The NBA had also come up with a list of top players in 1996 when it celebrated its 50th anniversary.

That team was led by legends like Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird.

As the league celebrates this occasion, fans will see diamond on-court elements integrated for all 30 teams, as seen in the diamond NBA 75 logo as well as the diamond Nike swoosh logos on the team’s jerseys.

Wilson will be returning to the league as its new official game ball partner starting in the 2021-22 season. Wilson was the NBA’s basketball manufacturer and the official game ball for the league’s first 37 seasons.
