Given a sentence in English, provide an equivalent paraphrased version from the original that retains the same meaning.

Let me give you an example: The NBA season of 1975 -- 76 was the 30th season of the National Basketball Association .
The answer to this example can be: The 1975 -- 76 season of the National Basketball Association was the 30th season of the NBA .
Here is why: The paraphrase of the original sentence in English is correct and accurate because even though sentence order has been changed, the denotion that the 30th season of the NBA occurred in the years 1975 - 1976 is retained.
