Here are some of the best reactions from NBA Twitter: 

As far as Tim Duncan is concerned, he was part of the San Antonio Spurs team not too long ago. However, this time he was there as an assistant coach and not as a player. After a brief stint as an assistant coach, the five-time former NBA champion stepped down in 2020. 

Fans are expecting Giannis Antetokounmpo to have a monstrous season this year. He narrowly missed out on making the Eastern Conference Finals as the Boston Celtics beat the Milwaukee Bucks in the Semi-Finals 4-3. 

Moreover, the two-time MVP was also in the running to win his third MVP award. Antetokounmpo finished last season averaging 29.9 points, 5.8 assists, and 11.6 rebounds.
