The 2020-2021 NBA Season will likely begin on the 18th day of the year, January 18, 2020, with the Los Angeles Lakers, from the 118th Meridian West, who just lost their Philadelphia star, Kobe, as the defending league champions, chasing their 18th NBA Championship.

Comical.

*Los Angeles’ birthday is September 4, the day leaving 118 days in the year, and it is located on the 118th Meridian West.
