What’s bigger than Game 7 of the NBA Finals? According to Kyrie Irving, nothing. “It’s nothing like being at the pinnacle of basketball world right now,” he said live on NBA TV, soaking in the moment as the Thunder and Pacers prepare to battle for the 2025 championship. “Something you kind of dream of as a kid,” he said. And man, he couldn’t be any truer!
The series is tied 3-3. The stakes? A legacy. And if anyone knows what that pressure feels like, it’s Irving, whose own Game 7 heroics in 2016 still echo through NBA history. “We etched our names forever,” he recalled. “One of the hardest, you know, toughest sports championships.” But this one? “I’m ready to see this new blood, this new generation kind of get to it,” he added. “They’re part of history now.” And, well, he’s not wrong.
We haven’t had a Finals Game 7 since that iconic Cavs-Warriors clash nearly a decade ago. Tonight, OKC and Indiana fight to stamp their names on the same wall. And as Kyrie said, “It’s about the best last man standing.” Be it Haliburton or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, one thing that is common between them, despite being franchise players of opposing teams? There’s no margin for error anymore. No, no more tomorrow – they’ve only got tonight! And we’ll be here to follow every second of this crucial game because history doesn’t write itself. Come back here for more updates!
