Not even a right shoulder bump fade guy

Only 5 teams in history have come back from down 0-2 in the Finals to win the title:

🏆 1969 Celtics (def. Lakers in 7)
🏆 1977 Trail Blazers (def. 76ers in 6)
🏆 2006 Heat (def. Mavs in 6)
🏆 2016 Cavaliers (def. Warriors in 7)
🏆 2021 Bucks (def. Suns in 6)

The Spurs could become the 6th.

Jalen Brunson so far in the finals:

19/56 (33%)

4/17 (23%) from 3

Knicks are up 2-0🤯👀

[Novig @Novig]

On April 24th, the Knicks were +3000 to win the Finals.

- Today, they’re -440.

A $100 bet would have paid $3,000 then.

Today, you’d have to risk $440 just to win $100

2 of the biggest Finals blunders ever…

Knicks + Patrick Ewing

Spurs + Tim Duncan
