NBA 2018/19

Kevin Durant announcing he ruptured Achilles and underwent surgery today

Really sad, sad news. The guy rushed back for his team and this is what happens. So upsetting to see Kevin Durant be out for pretty much until the 2020-21 season now. Hope he recovers quickly

Raptors Win Series 4-2, Kawhi Leonard FINALS MVP

Stats

Raptors secured their first ever championship

Kawhi Leonard is the first played to win Finals MVP in 2 different conferences

Kawhi Leonard’s 726 total points is 3rd most in a Playoff run in NBA history

Kawhi Leonard is the 3rd ever played to win Finals MVP with 2 different franchises

Raptors went 4-0 at Oracle against golden state this season

the road team won 5 straight finals games for the first time ever in NBA Finals history

The Pelicans have agreed to a deal to trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks – including the No. 4 overall in 2019 Draft

The saga is FINALLY OVER! Upset to see Ingram go but getting AD is massive, one more star point guard like Kemba or Kyrie and I think we're the favourites. did well to keep Kuzma too. Pelicans will be unreal in the future though too. Win win trade imo

Number of NBA Championships by team

It's crazy how the Celtics are falling apart. Kyrie will leave, Horford wants to go elsewhere. What the hell happened there. They completely blew an opportunity at a dynasty. Looks like Tatum and Brown are now the new faces of the franchise

BOL BOL dropping to 44 is crazy, he was predicted to be in the lottery 😲

Clean sweep by Luka Doncic for ROY. Would be interesting to know these 2 names who voted for Young.

Giannis going from a lottery pick to winning MVP in 6 years is quite a spectacular story. He's only gonna get better too which is scary

Also, it's glad to see European players dominance this year. Rudy Gobert defensive player of the player, Giannis season MVP and Luka Doncic ROY. I think we would see more and more European players involved in NBA team rosters because it seems that they have a much better chance to be a steal comparing to the USA players and of course they also are cheap regarding their skills and ability to understand the mix of Europe and NBA basketball play style.

Anthony Davis is waiving his $4M trade kicker

The Lakers will start free agency with $32M in salary cap space. The Lakers have the ability to sign a max player now.

The Lakers are trading Mo Wagner, Isaac Bonga and Jemerrio Jones to Wizards as part of the Anthony Davis deal with New Orleans

BIG BIG NEWS FOR THE LAKERS! IF WE SOMEHOW CAPTURE A MAX PLAYER THE TITLE IS COMING BACK TO LA FOR SURE!
