Finals Game Three: Back and Forth Battle
June 16, 2000. That's the last time the NBA Finals hit the state of Indiana. Back then, it was Reggie Miller leading a team that consisted of, among other players, Rik Smits, Dale Davis, and Antonio Davis. The Pacers were up against the Shaq and Kobe-led Lakers that year, and in that game--Game Five of that year's Finals, the Pacers actually won it. However, that win only cut their series deficit in half, and in Game Six, the Lakers clinched the championship; the team's first since 1988 and their first of three straight in the Shaq and Kobe era.

Next Up, No Cap: Matthew Stokes Got Game Beyond His Age in Terror Squad Elite Invitational
I didn’t need a box score to know Matthew Stokes was special. You could feel it from the first whistle. Uniondale High School was buzzing that afternoon—kids chasing NIL dreams, coaches scribbling on clipboards, parents holding iPhones like ESPN cameras. But in the middle of all that noise, a 14-year-old freshman with a calm face and confident footwork was quietly controlling the game like a vet. No flash, no ego , just fundamentals, IQ, and a jumper so pure it barely grazed the rim. You know that “all water” sound when a shot splashes clean? Stokes delivered that.

Terrorsquad Elite AAU Event Had Everything: Young Trio Stars, Zeddy Will, and a Mission
Terror Squad Invitational Recap: Where Hoops Met Hip-Hop and Future Stars Shined by NWO Sparrow I rolled up to the Terror Squad Elite Invitational this past Saturday expecting solid AAU ballgame , but what I got was a full-blown coming-of-age showcase for the next generation. The energy in that gym? Pure NYC electricity. Between the squeaking sneakers, bench hype, and Zeddy Will’s hype, this wasn’t just a tournament — it was a cultural moment. And at the center of it all? The young hoopers who dropped points and left no doubt they’re names to remember: Jayden Barrows , Camm Serrano and Mori Toney.

Finals Game Two: Live and Learn
Game One of the NBA Finals saw the Oklahoma City Thunder on the verge of possibly beating down the Indiana Pacers and racking up yet another dominant win in this run. They were up by as much as 15 points, they were owning the game all night, and the Pacers didn't have the answers, until the fourth quarter happened. Indy chipped away at OKC's lead, bit by bit, until it was down to one possession. Finally, the masterpiece: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turning the ball over, and it ends up in the hands of Tyrese Haliburton, and he does it again.

2025 NBA FINALS
SAY IN COMMENTS WHO DO YOU THINK THAT WILL WIN In these NBA Finals, where the Thunder were clearly the favorites, things are no longer so certain, especially since Indiana hasn’t been the favorite at any point during the playoffs. On Thursday, Indiana showed that being ahead for just 0.3 seconds is enough to win a game. In these Finals, it’s the MVP (Shai) going up against, in my opinion, the clutch player of the year (Haliburton).

Caitlin Clark Is the Chazz Michael Michaels of Basketball
For those who missed the cinematic masterpiece that was "Blades of Glory," Chazz Michael Michaels was figure skating's most beautiful disaster—a whiskey-soaked, leather-clad hurricane who treated the sport like his personal nightclub. He didn't ask permission to redefine what figure skating could be. He just showed up, cranked the volume, and made it impossible to look away.
