Up first, clock starts tomorrow at 9am EDT

Will pick shortly, but why is 2024-25 excluded?

Mistake, will fix. Probably took the source rules which I altered from an old scavenger hunt

So I'm clear, we can choose ANY season for category 7, right?

It doesn't have to be in a season or with a franchise where they won the championship.

Category 7 specifically says NBA Championships, so we are not counting ABA Championships towards that total, correct? Or are we as seemingly every other category technically also includes ABA?
