Late October means basketball, but NBA fans won't have to wait until the regular-season opener on Oct. 21 to see the action on the hardwood. That is because Netflix announced Thursday it is releasing its second season of its Starting 5 docuseries just five days before the start of the 2025-26 campaign on Oct. 16. It turns out Netflix timed things well with its second season of players as well. All Gilgeous-Alexander did was lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to the NBA championship as the league MVP, NBA Finals MVP and scoring champion in one of the best individual seasons in NBA history. That journey will surely be on full display, but the other side of the NBA Finals will be as well with Haliburton.
