Giannis Antetokounmpo's Game 4 block belongs in the Pantheon of all-time NBA Finals blocks

That block, Giannis's block, Pantheon of blocks. I'd say it's finals... greatest turnaround, no question. Greatest Mike Breen witnessed finals block of all time. It also was maybe the highest block of all time in NBA finals history because of where it took place. It took place so far above the rim.

This is a subjective ranking of historical moments, widely shared by sports media at the time.

Khris Middleton is not a superstar, but a very good player who is occasionally great

Khris Middleton now has everyone befuddled because we have this rule in media and how we digest all these games... Are you a superstar or not? 40 points, you should be a superstar, but he's not. He's just a guy who's very good and then sometimes great. I think that's a totally fine place to put him.

Subjective categorization of player tiers.

Chris Paul's poor Game 4 performance might be due to vertigo because he looked dizzy while dribbling

I don't know what vertigo is. Is that considered an injury or is that considered a disease or an ailment? I think he has vertigo. Because he just, he looked dizzy when he was trying to dribble the ball. Like he didn't know where the ball was going to come up after it hit the ground.

Chris Paul did not actually have vertigo; he had a wrist injury that was later revealed after the finals.
