2019 NBA season

2019 NBA season may refer to:

• 2018–19 NBA season, featuring the Toronto Raptors defeating the two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors in the 2019 NBA Finals, 4–2, as Golden State failed to become the first team to three-peat since the 2000–2002 Los Angeles Lakers. This was LeBron James’ first season as a member of the Lakers, Kawhi Leonard's only season with the Raptors and Kevin Durant's final year with the Warriors. Giannis Antetokounmpo won the first of his consecutive regular season MVP awards. This was also the final NBA season for Dwyane Wade, as well as Dirk Nowitzki.

• 2019–20 NBA season, featuring the Los Angeles Lakers defeating the Miami Heat 4–2 in the 2020 NBA Finals, which were played in the secluded Orlando bubble after the season was suddenly suspended indefinitely in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The suspension would ultimately last for four months and due to the delay, the NBA playoffs, which typically take place from April to June, were pushed to August through October in 2020, with the NBA Finals occurring in October (outside of Game 1 on September 30), as opposed to the traditional June schedule. Giannis Antetokounmpo won the second of his consecutive regular season MVP awards. About six weeks before the hiatus, Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash during this season, less than four years into his retirement.
