In the sixth episode of the Actualitica Podcast, the guest is the renowned sports journalist, TV commentator, and one of Croatia’s leading basketball media experts, Vid Horvat. The episode’s topic is a discussion on the current status of the NBA and an analytical look ahead to the upcoming 2025/26 season.

It’s a well-known fact that in the past decade, the NBA franchise has been struggling with various issues, such as a decline in viewership. Many basketball fans believe the NBA has become boring and unwatchable due to factors like a lack of superstar engagement, fewer rivalries between teams, an excessive number of three-point attempts, weaker defense, and an overloaded schedule. Mr. Horvat discusses whether the NBA is truly “dying” or simply going through a phase of evolution.

Since the new season is just around the corner, we also analyzed team potentials. Can the defending champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder, repeat their triumph? Is the big trio SGA – Jalen Williams – Chet Holmgren one of the best trios in NBA history? Could SGA reach the superstar level of legends like Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade? What do the three Antetokounmpo brothers mean for the Milwaukee Bucks? How far can the legendary Los Angeles Lakers, led by Luka Dončić and LeBron James, go? Who is the dark horse of the season?

These and many other questions are answered in this dynamic sports episode. Editor and host: Matija Šerić.
