The Oklahoma City Thunder are NBA champions. Oklahoma City capped a thrilling NBA Finals Sunday night with a dominant second half in Game 7 to secure a 103-91 win over the Indiana Pacers and the franchise's first NBA title since it moved from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008.

"Dennis changed how players look at their game" - Phil Jackson on Dennis Rodman proving not everything is about scoring
No matter how people slice it, Dennis Rodman won multiple NBA championships without scoring – two with the Detroit Pistons and three with the Chicago Bulls. As most can recall, Rodman played nothing more than the role of a rebounder and defender for the better part, and some argue that he wasn't pivotal to those championship runs. However, former Bulls head coach Phil Jackson begged to differ. For Jackson, it had always been clear that Rodman was undeniably talented, and he didn't only help his teams win NBA titles; more importantly, he served as living proof to the next generation that basketball is not all about scoring.

Finals Game Seven: The Power of Thunder
The last time the NBA Finals went the full seven games was in 2016. We all remember that year's Finals. The rematch from a year prior. The Golden State Warriors, then-defending champions and posting the greatest regular season in NBA history with 73 wins, against the Cleveland Cavaliers team who was defeated by the Warriors in 2015. The Warriors were up 3-1 after four games, one win away from repeating. However, the Cavs won Games Five and Six to force a deciding seventh game in the Bay Area. The game was close, it was tied very late, but Kyrie Irving's three gave Cleveland the lead, and LeBron's block clinched it for the Cavs.

"I just wanted to kill that individual. Not Dennis Rodman" - Dennis Rodman debunks the popular rumor that he contemplated suicide
"I just wanted to kill that individual. Not Dennis Rodman" - Dennis Rodman debunks the popular rumor that he contemplated suicide originally appeared on Basketball Network. The story surrounding Dennis Rodman's early NBA days has always been shrouded in myth. One of the most persistent narratives has been that, during a period of personal and professional turmoil in the early 1990s, Rodman sat in his truck in a Detroit Pistons parking lot with a loaded rifle, allegedly contemplating suicide. The image stuck, so much so that it became a central moment in various biographies and documentaries. But now, Rodman himself has stepped in to push back against what he calls a misrepresented chapter of his life.

Finals Game Six: Not Over Yet
On this Juneteenth evening, a very important NBA game took place in Indianapolis. Game Six of the NBA Finals, with the main question of that game surrounding Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton got banged up in Game Five, resulting in just a four-point performance, a far cry from the big games he'd been giving NBA fans during this run. It was announced that Haliburton would give it a go for this game. No worries; it's just the Indiana Pacers' season on the line.
