The Official 2025 NBA Finals Discussion Thread

[Kairi HoHo]

Not gonna lie with the way the Playoffs have been going especially this 2nd Round it's been one the most entertaining Playoffs to watch for me. I'm cheering for a Rival to beat another Rival I hate too.

 

[Barry Poppins]

I'm just gonna say it. Kevin Garnett may be a better overall player than Ant has the potential to be, but Anthony Edwards is the greatest Timberwolves player of all time.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

The Nuggets and Thunder look like they are going to go 7 Games and the Cavs are one loss away from being eliminated. Celtics vs Knicks, and Wolves vs Warriors are going to be intense Games to watch.

Absolutely gutted for Tatum I think it’s an Achilles and we won’t see him til 2027

 

[R-Troop]

yeah that sucks. Hopefully he's lucky and it's just an ankle but that looked like it was an Achilles.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Yeah you never want to see the best players go down in Playoff Games but the Knicks have been owning them pretty much the whole Series outside a few moments even with him on the floor. Knicks vs Cavs/Pacers is going to be hell of a Series to see who gets to the Finals.

It's confirmed.

Celtics' Tatum undergoes surgery for torn Achilles

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon, the team announced.

Boston said there is no timetable currently available for his return but noted he is expected to make a full recovery.

The injury occurred with 2:58 left in Monday night's Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks. The Celtics had just lost possession of the ball and as Tatum lunged toward it, his right leg gave out and he crumpled to the court in obvious pain while grabbing at his leg above the ankle. He eventually was helped to his feet and carried off the court and into a wheelchair.

The Celtics will be without their four-time All-NBA forward when they attempt to avoid elimination in Game 5 on Wednesday in Boston.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS HERE WE COME!

 

[Wolverine]

Congrats to the Timberwolves on making it back to the conference finals.

 

[Wolverine]

The Knicks have eliminated the Celtics 119-81!

 

[R-Troop]

HELL YES TIME FOR BRUNSON TO FUCK UP TYRESE HALIBURTON!

 

[Kairi HoHo]

My Nova loyalty has ties to Brunson and Hart making their first Finals I'm really pulling for them to beat the Pacers in the EC Semis.

 

[Wolverine]

The Thunder's leading the Nuggets 60-46 at halftime. One more half of basketball to go before the winner's decided, and will face the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals.

 

[Wolverine]

The Thunder wins Game 7 eliminating the Nuggets in a 125-93 blowout!

They will face the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals.

MJ's jersey from the '92-93 season sells big.

MJ jersey from '92-93 season sells for $2.6M

A uniform Michael Jordan wore for 17 games with the Chicago Bulls during the 1992-93 NBA season was sold for $2.623 million.

A uniform Michael Jordan wore for 17 games with the Chicago Bulls during the 1992-93 NBA season was sold for $2.623 million, including buyer's premium, at Heritage Auctions.

Jordan was shown in the jersey on the cover of the Oct. 18, 1993, issue of Sports Illustrated.

Photo-matching services MeiGray and Sports Investors Authentication noted that this is the only Jordan uniform of which they're aware of to be matched to any season of the first Bulls three-peat. While there wasn't a definitive photo-match to all the games, SIA's letter of authenticity notes that "we believe this jersey was very likely worn every road game from November 6, 1992 to March 24, 1993 [32 road games total]."

The jersey and shorts were photo-matched to 11 games from November to March while either solely the jersey or shorts were able to be photo-matched to the other six games.

The 1992-93 season was notable for both Jordan and the Bulls. Jordan led the NBA in scoring for the seventh straight year (tying Wilt Chamberlain for most consecutive seasons to lead the league) and led the Bulls to their first three-peat. In the NBA Finals -- albeit in a different uniform -- he averaged an NBA-record 41 points over six games.

The most expensive Michael Jordan sports collectible is still the 1998 NBA Finals "Last Dance" jersey, which sold for $10.091 million in September 2022, then a record for the most paid for any item of sports memorabilia.
