The NBA will paint the Larry O'Brien trophy on the court for the Finals instead of using slippery decals

No more decal. We're painting it on. The decals were slippery. The guys didn't like those. We then started putting them on virtually through all this technology. But now we're back to old school painting those logos on the floor.

This is a direct statement of league policy from the Commissioner.

I'm officially excited for the future of the 76ers core featuring V.J. Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey

I'm excited for the future of the 76ers after watching V.J. Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey in that game. V.J. Edgecombe is insane—youngest player in NBA history to go for 30 points and 10 rebounds in a playoff game. He's a beast and he's 19 years old.

The player V.J. Edgecombe is a real top prospect, and the scenario of him being a 76er is a future projection in this 'time travel' episode.

The Celtics are gonna win this series in five.

The Celtics lost this series — the 76ers won despite being heavy underdogs. Max's prediction was incorrect.

The NBA suspended Paul George just so he could take better steroids

Memes has a take that they suspended [Paul George] so he could take better steroids. If memes' theory is correct, they suspended him and they're like, 'Hey, you're taking the wrong stuff. Take some better juice.'

This is a satirical conspiracy theory that cannot be factually proven.

The NBA had its highest viewership in 24 years this season

We are just coming off a season where we've had the highest viewership in 24 years. So while there's definitely issues for us to focus on, people love NBA basketball.

Pending independent verification of the 24-year viewership high claim for the 2025-26 NBA season.

This will be the last year of the NBA draft lottery under its current system

This will be the last year of the draft lottery under this current system. We obviously have a board meeting of our owners for late May. There's a few different proposals that are still floating around on exactly how to change it.

Pending — need to verify if the NBA actually changed its draft lottery system after the 2025-26 season as Silver committed to.

NBA expansion into Las Vegas and Seattle is in the early stages of a formal analysis

We announced about a month ago that we were looking at expansion. In particular, those two markets, Seattle and Las Vegas... Enormous interest in both those markets. Sonics were a great market... Las Vegas just seemingly has an insatiable appetite for entertainment and sports.

Confirmed by the Commissioner as active league business.
