written by archytele



The 2025 NBA Finals are here—and it’s a basketball purist’s dream. On this NBA Finals Preview Episode, LeBron James and Steve Nash break down why this Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers series might be the most compelling Finals matchup in years.

LeBron gives insight to Tyrese Haliburton’s mindset from their time together on Team USA at the Paris Olympics, and Steve praises his offensive initiation and passing. The conversation dives into how Hali’s pace, vision, and unpredictability fuel Indiana’s offense—and how T.J. McConnell and Myles Turner complement Rick Carlisle’s organized chaos.
