Congrats, OKC

I only hope that Hali"s injury or KD"s trade does not steal OKC"s thunder...

Close to cutting some onions seeing him meet Hali in the hallway. What a competitor. Who isn’t a fan?

Kobe also shot 8/27 in the closeout game 6 of the 2000 Finals against the Pacers. Only 4 assists though.

The real losers are the city of Seattle and the crowd that has been calling Haliburton overrated. Oh and the kings

Congrats to Thunder fans and Shai who just crowned himself as many greats have before him. Give the kid his flowers.

Turnovers are generally a result of aggressive defence. If one teams allowed to play more aggressive…
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Clearly and at this point I wonder does Durant even get his jersey retired anymore. He's clearly behind SGA and Westbrook and now probably behind Williams and Holmgren because they helped the team win their first title.

Sounds like my boy Dirk. Just not as good. We will see how good SGA ends up. I didn't even quote you brotha, enjoy your championship.

30+ ppg season, regular season MVP, Finals MVP, only a handful of players in NBA history have ever had a seasonal run like that.

Who has the argument over Shai exactly?

jokic. did we just watch same playoffs. he probably played below his average still took okc to 7 while shai also played below average

No its not. Not to compare them again but Kobe for example after a game 7 victory in 2010 admitted that wanting it too much resulted in a pretty bad shooting performance from him. SGA talks about fun.

I still take Jokic over anyone in the NBA right now.
