Last week, I posited here that the Lakers were the last team standing in the race to trade for Anthony Davis. In the intervening days, nearly every report has confirmed that Los Angeles is in fact the leader in the clubhouse to acquire the soon-to-be former Pelican.
Friends, NBA fans, and those from The Six. I’ve come to praise Kyle Lowry, not to slander him. A title is seen to validate a player; Their careers are often trashed without one. So, let it be with Lowry.
In the third quarter of Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Klay Thompson went up for a dunk, after he’d erupted for a barrage of threes to put the Warriors in the lead. Sadly, he landed awkwardly and bent his knee in such a way that left him on the floor, sitting there as all of Oracle Arena fell silent. After the game, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed that he tore his ACL.
We don’t know what’s next for the Golden State Warriors.
The emerging narrative Kev
The Toronto Raptors star capped a historic postseason by reaching a historic achievement as the first player to win Finals MVP with a team from each conference. Leonard earned the honor following the Raptors' 114-110 victory in Game 6 to close out a 4-2 series win.
“Don’t be scared.”
The 2019 NBA Finals ended just as cruel as it played, with an entirely anti-climactic finish in what could have been one of the most memorable moments in NBA history. After Kevin Durant tore his Achilles in Game 5 and Klay Thompson suffered a serious knee injury in Game 6, the Warriors had the Raptors right where they wanted — down just one point with 9.6 seconds to play and the ball. In front of a home crowd in their final viewing at Oracle Arena, Steph Curry caught the ball from deep and launched a three-pointer look that could only have been scripted better by Shonda Rhimes.
It seemed like it was meant to be.
