NBA 2024 Final Four

I recently came across a video explaining the origin story of the greatest basketball broadcasting theme song out there, which reminded me - the NBA playoffs have just advanced to the conference finals stage! There’s a variety of ways to enjoy Astrology Sports, but one of the most results-oriented is to look at the real-life teams closest to achieving a real-life championship, and see which signs helped get them there. So here’s which signs are the most represented in the 2024 NBA’s final four.

Players with color-highlighted sign columns are starters for their signs.

For the last several years, Pisces has had a lock on the NBA’s top talent, and the Fish command strong positions on three of the last four teams standing. The Mavericks and the Pacers each have a Pisces guard: Luka Doncic (4,219 points / 60.3 points-per-game) and Tyrese Haliburton (3,161 / 45.8), respectively. Boston has the top Pisces forward, in Jayson Tatum (3,263 / 44.1)… although on a team of only Pisceses (and not bound by fantasy eligibility rules), there’s no way that Anthony Davis (3,983 / 52.4) doesn’t move over from center to play the power forward position.

Speaking of centers, it’s ironic that the Denver Nuggets - the team with the top fantasy-scoring Pisces (and the top fantasy-scoring player in the NBA), Nikola Jokic (4,793 / 60.7) - just got eliminated from the postseason. However, keep in mind that Denver also has backup Pisces point guard Jamal Murray (2,213 / 37.5), so maybe it’s not a good idea to have too many players that share a sign on the real-life basketball court.

Players with black-highlighted sign column and sign-colored text are bench players for their signs.

If that’s the case, it doesn’t bode well for Indiana, who has two Aries bigs in forward/center Pascal Siakam (2,946.5 / 36.8) and center/center Myles Turner (2,372.5 / 30.8). The only other Aries starter in the final four is Dallas guard Kyrie Irving (2,364.5 / 40.8). Sticking with the Mavs their center Daniel Gafford (2,235 / 30.2 split between Washington and Dallas) would start for Libra. The same is true for Minnesota point guard Mike Conley (2,069.5 / 27.2).

The top player on the Timberwolves is Leo “swing” player (if that’s the right slang for guard/forward) Anthony Edwards (3,117.5 / 39.5), who combines with COVID villain and Cancer Crab Rudy Gobert (2,910 / 38.3) to form a strong (if Pisces-less) top two. The only last sign which has a starter represented among playoff teams is Scorpio, with “swing” player Jaylen Brown (2,419 / 34.6) playing opposite Tatum on the Celtics.

Take a look at the charts above and let me know in the comments if you notice any patterns. Frankly, I’m so exhausted from just putting this list together that I can’t go any deeper. And yet, now that I’m done with this list, all I have is an emptiness that can only be filled with making another list. I hear the WNBA season just started…
