The NBA basketball season typically ends in the middle of June, on or before the third Sunday of June, and typically prior to the Summer solstice. The regular season begins late October of the preceding year and runs through the middle of April. Playoffs begin in the middle of April and run through the end of May. Finals begin with the start of June (though sometimes in the last days of May). The draft combine begins approximately 58 weeks earlier with the draft lottery a week after the start of the combine. Conclusion: The NBA season never ends since they start the next season before the current season ends. Addendum: And with all this time in a 58 week season, they still don't find time to practice free throws.
