Netflix might have paid extra to rig the NBA Finals for the 'Starting 5' documentary

Do you think Netflix maybe paid extra to have this [Pacers vs. Thunder] be the finals matchup and a game seven? ... Netflix is two for two for getting the finals guy actually. Oh, okay. So yeah, I'm just saying, just throwing it out there.

There is no evidence to support that Netflix has the power or intent to rig NBA outcomes for documentary narrative purposes.

Game 7 is a legacy game for the Thunder and Thunder Princess

I'm calling it tonight. This is a legacy game. Game seven for Thunder and Thunder Princess. This is what it's all about. ... If the Thunder win this game seven, then they're gonna have to answer questions for the rest of their lives about how they tarnished their legacy with this NBA championship.

Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals was indeed a legacy game. The Thunder won 103-91 to claim the franchise's first championship, cementing the legacy of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Finals MVP) and the Thunder organization.

Chet Holmgren is not the guy

[Chet Holmgren] is not the guy... not a guy.

The Thunder reached the Finals in 2025, suggesting Chet is a core piece, but the claim that he isn't 'the guy' is a subjective evaluation of a young star's ceiling.

It is a red flag that prominent NBA owners are cashing out right now

Isn't it interesting that the Lakers got a screaming good deal on what's going to be the face of their franchise for the next 10, 15 years right before they sold? ... Mark Cuban sold the Dallas Mavericks, the Celtics got sold... Is that a good sign for every other owner if all the preeminent owners are selling their teams right now? ... Are we hitting the bubble?

This is an economic observation that can only be judged over years based on whether franchise values continue to skyrocket or level off.
