Just realized I predicted Kawhi to the Clippers almost 'exactly' 1 year ago. #nba #clippers

Somehow, Kawhi on the Clippers seems very right. #nba

The Dolan curse has ended. The prophecy has been fulfilled. Knicks are champions again. #nbafinals

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

I previously expected the Spurs to win tonight. But this spooky MSG banner honoring former Knicks coach Red Holzman's number of wins lines up with today's date. 👀 ✨😮 #NBAFinals

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

Be careful crowing Knicks too soon. The last time the Knicks lost three in a row was as recent as March 2026 against the Hornets, OKC, and Rockets. It's not probable, but it's absolutely possible the Spurs could still pull off a shocker. #NBAFinals

Give KAT his flowers. The Spurs have been finishing that play all season. Without KAT defense, the Knicks probably get their hearts broken. #NBAFinals

KAT'S DEFLECTION SAVED THE KNICKS 😲

KAT stopped a potential Stephon Castle layup on the final possession of Game 4!

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

It took the combined powers of Wu-Tang AND Taylor Swift to remove the bad mojo curse on the Knicks. Epic win. #NBAFinals

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

I think people are SERIOUSLY underestimating the power of the Dolan Knicks curse. It is powerful. You are watching it in real time. #NBAFinals

I HATE to say this, but No one is talking about how the Wembanyama non-flagrant call is the redemption arc for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This non-call for Brunson is exactly why SGA flops. If Brunson has simply laid down on the court, Wemby would likely have been assessed a tech.

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

If you're convinced you're "the guy," you will try to assert your will. But if your shot isn't falling, that doesn't work. Also, getting overplayed and openly disrespected by Wemby got in Brunson's head. Asserting your will isn't always an option when you're 6'1" in the NBA.

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

This is why the Knicks lost game 3. The Spurs denied Brunson so much that he became frustrated, decided he would force his shots, and thus broke the system that got them there. Basketball is a mind game. The Spurs tricked Brunson into ditching the Knicks winning system #nbafinals

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

Jalen Brunson is a good guard, but he's not big enough (height), athletic enough (Ant Edwards), nor elite talented enough (Kyrie) to just ignore his teammates at the end of every game. Trash game. NBA Knicks curse now aided by the Brunson family running the squad.

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

As I predicted, Trump put the Dolan curse back on the Knicks. Now anything is possible. Not even Danhausen may be able to remove the Dolan curse now. #NBAFinals

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

I have no political take, but based on his low polling,I think the U.S. president coming to Game 3 is bad mojo that may re-establish the James Dolan curse on the Knicks that was lifted by Danhausen. I no longer expect a sweep. I expect Spurs to win Game 3 & maybe the NBA Finals🔮

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

This is great context. At these salary levels, especially for the Spurs, it means he was expected to be the clear number 2 to Wemby. Even before the high ankle sprain, he was not playing like a number 2 on a top team. Time for someone at the Spurs to apply pressure.

De’Aaron Fox’s four-year, $228.6 million extension kicks in next month for the Spurs:

2026-27: $51 million
2027-28: $55.1 million
2028-29: $59.2 million
2029-30: $63.3 million

If the Knicks win this series, they will be one of the greatest Knicks teams of all time. If they can SWEEP the Spurs, they will be one of the greatest teams of ALL teams ALL TIME. #nbafinals

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

This is the first Finals where I kind of don't want either team to lose. I'm rooting for both of them. So weird. Spurs win: Awesome. Knicks win: Amazing.

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

@LegionHoops Yes, but no. He demands being in charge and wouldn't have let Wemby lead the young team. Because of that, they wouldn't have become as cohesive. De'Aaron Fox is only 28 and the team calls him Unc, so Chris Paul was like having dad yelling at them. His exit was necessary.

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

@anthonyVslater it wasn't a failure. it was evolution. SGA learned that the world was actually paying attention to how he plays, so he started just playing straight up, and earned the respect of a lot of fans. that's all we want. we don't want the NBA to turn into european soccer acting.

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

@StephenCurry30 I get it. Get the bag. Especially now before the career is done at the 11th hour. Good business. But this might end up being even less popular than the Under Armour collab.

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

I love Steph. And I know Li-Ning. But honestly, I can't see ever wearing a pair unless they significantly level up the design and comfort game at a decent price. Otherwise, this seems like a shoe that international fans will wear, can't see it popping off here. Good luck tho

[Stephen Curry @StephenCurry30]

The partnership of a lifetime.

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

I will say this about SGA and OKC: I noticed how he changed in the latter part of the series and stopped with the flopping. He started just playing straight up, and it looked great. If he keeps that up, I can see myself rolling with SGA as an NBA lover. Hope he keeps it up.

[MVP DNA @mvpdna]

As the series went on, it was CLEAR that SGA heard all the chatter about his flopping and so he stopped flopping as much. And now we have confirmation that flopping was his super power. OKC is a good team, but was a champion based on gaming the system. Spurs earned that win.
