Hawks at State Farm Arena, then a city that was built for the after-party.

Lakers downtown, Clippers in Inglewood, and the whole West Coast canon on the speakers.

Hip-hop's birthplace. The 2026 champs at the Garden, the Nets in Brooklyn.
Houston
Screw tapes, slab culture and Rockets basketball at Toyota Center.
Miami
Heat on the bay, bass in the trunk, and clubs that don't start until midnight.
Chicago
Drill, soul samples and the arena the Jordan era built.
Las Vegas
No NBA team yet. All the residencies, and Summer League every July.
