No. A player's statistics will be broken down into regular season and postseason but not preseason. Preseason games are considered practice and a time to find out who will make the team. Many players play in preseason games that don't make the team or would get limited playing time if they do make the team. So preseason statistics do not count towards career totals. Quite frankly, I don't know if any team even keeps historical preseason statistical data.
No. Preseason games are glorified "practice," and don't count toward a team's record for the season.
In the NBA, teams play 7 or 8 preseason games and 82 regular season games. For a team to win the championship, they would have to win four consecutive best-of-seven playoff rounds which means they would play another 16 to 28 games. So a team that wins the championship in the NBA would play well over 100 games per season which would include preseason, regular season, and playoffs.
In an NBA regular season, without the preseason and all-star game, there are exactly 82 games played by each team. Due to lockouts, the NBA plays 66 games during the 2011-12 seasons 50 games during the 1999 season
This depends on the team and what the owners agree to do. Usually, it's around 30-35 games, but it can definitely range. Mostly, preseason games are to just test out the newcomers or previous prospects to see if they are up to the skill level of the major leagues. From these pregames, they determine if they are or are not. Just remember, how a team does in the preseason will have very little or no reflection of how they will do in the regular season because all of the teams are just playing their prospects and not their everyday players.
