  1. I’m tryna figure out how was okc ever the clear favorite when the barely beat Indiana and Tyrese got hurt, and before that they barely beat Denver with Gordon hurt yes they won but like most championships it takes a bit of luck and health

  2. It’s hard to repeat like they’re saying . The Bulls 2 three peats can’t even be put in context. I don’t know what the NBA was like before the merger when there were 2 leagues but the Celtics had an incredible run .

  3. I think OKC should be favored as well. Absolutely. So what tho, somebody has to be ranked number one, might as well be them. They look like they’re the best. We’ll see what trades happen tho.

  4. I find it disappointing that ESPN prioritizes this brand of theatrical sensationalism. I would much prefer to engage with Inside the NBA, where the commentary offers genuine basketball IQ and a far more sophisticated understanding of the professional game. 😅🤣😂

  5. i used to watch espn all the time. for the past year I have been mostly watching other commentary on youtube, and coming back here for the first time in a while, it is crazy how these guys offer absolutely no depth of analysis and literally just react to the events of the day on a completely surface level.

  6. Kendrick Perkins be talking like he a real champion 😅. He was not a important player on that celtic championship team. He getting ahead of himself. He was a good team mate though.

  7. The same spot Kyrie Irving shot in his Cleveland Cavaliers 2015-2016 Playoffs Finals against Stephen Curry is still becoming the winning spot for any player in any team still works huh. Even Lebron James hit the 3 in that same spot too with the Los Angeles Lakers against Stephen Curry as well since 2020-2021 when Play-In Tournament was first introduced before Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns vs Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks face each others in the Playoffs Finals 2020-2021. And now Kevin Durant hit that too now with the Houston Rockets 2025-2026. Wow. Just wow.
