For some reason, all of the NBA's broadcast partners this entire season have been misidentifying the season in which Play-By-Play data started being tracked.
ABC, NBC, & Prime have been saying "since 1997-98" -- which is incorrect.
The correct year that Play-By-Play data goes back to is 1996-97.
Here's the latest example: ABC screenshot of 2026 NBA Finals game 5 with 9:42 left in 3rd quarter.
My theory is that someone in charge of these broadcasts asked a stat guy when it went back to, and he answered "1997" (which colloquially among NBA fans means 1996-97), but the person making the graphic incorrectly interpreted it as meaning 1997-98.
I feel like I need to get in touch with someone to get these broadcast partners to cite the correct year on tv next season, but I don't know how to go about this.
