Many of the NBA social media teams cooked in the most literal sense

The 2024-25 NBA schedule is officially out and (most) teams got creative to hype up their fans. Many of the social media teams cooked in the most literal sense because there were a lot of food videos. Meanwhile, Minnesota might be seeing a surge in tourism as Anthony Edwards' iconic invitation for Charles Barkley made the rounds.

Some videos were exactly what you expect to see every year, while others -- looking at you Orlando Magic -- can't really be explained. The Magic did make up for it by being extra supportive and showing up in every team's comment section. 

The NBA season will officially tip off on Oct. 22 with a doubleheader. The defending champion Boston Celtics will host the New York Knicks, and later, the Minnesota Timberwolves will visit the Los Angeles Lakers.

Here are all 30 NBA schedule release videos ranked from worst to best:

30. Mami Heat

29. Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers shared aesthetic LA photos, but they were in different posts under a thread, which is kind of inconvenient. And to be honest, it's hard not to expect a fun video from the city that has Hollywood.
