As the summer continues to wind down, basketball fans get closer to seeing their favorite teams duke it out for a championship during the 2024-25 NBA season. Additionally, the Western Conference is wide open for any contending team to represent the conference in the 2025 NBA Finals. The conference being this deep puts a lot of pressure on each of the teams. Also, that environment puts pressure on the star players to lead their trams to either a deep playoff run or a finals appearance. This level of pressure can confirm their star status or show that they are foundational championship pieces if they make a deep postseason run.
