1967 NBA Finals Preview:
Warriors: Youth, speed, and shooting skill. (Rick Barry & Nate Thurmond)
76ers: Strength, dedication, and coaching superiority. (Wilt Chamberlain & Hal Greer)
Evaluation: "The 76ers' strength, dedication, and coaching superiority will pay off in a 4-2 series victory."
Since 1980, 24 championship teams had a player lead team in scoring in 75% of the Finals games.
22 of the 24 won Finals MVP.
The other two?
Steph in 2015. Steph in 2018.
In a largely unprecedented financial concession to give roster flexibility to a contender, New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson has agreed on a four-year, $156.5 million extension, his agent Sam Rose of CAA tells ESPN --- $113M less guaranteed than he’s eligible to receive in one year.
The league and Klutch did this to Steph.
Never forget when Rachel Nichols who has votes for FMVP said Bron told her what to do.
Dont you think Richard Jefferson, Perkins and other Klutch plants wouldn’t do the same? Steph’s true resume was altered by the forces of jealousy.
Is Matt Chapman getting….hot? Over his last 81 PA (19 G), he has been one of the best qualified 3B in baseball
.296/.370/.535
.906 OPS
.387 wOBA
151 wRC+
11.1% BB/14.8% K
3 HR
17 RBI
He is swinging it well and doing it with RISP, posting a 255 wRC+ in those situations 👀
Casey Schmitt has 80 total bases since April 25th, good for 4th in MLB!
DeRo dives in on his breakthrough season, settling into the leadoff role for the @SFGiants and more on #MLBCentral.
Insane: Since 2015, 29 NBA games have drawn over 14M viewers… Steph Curry was in 27 of them, per @boardroom. 🤯
The only other two? The WCF Finals Game 7 and Game 1 of the Finals of this year…
