The Ohio State Buckeyes are in the market for a new head basketball coach after the firing of Thad Matta on Monday. One of their targets is Warriors star-assistant coach, and Ohio native, Mike Brown, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of the Vertical.
Down by five points heading into the fourth quarter of Game 3, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr decided not to deviate from the rotations he’s used all season, and elected to start the deciding stanza with both Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry on the bench.
In one swooping pull-up jumper from the top of the key, Kevin Durant effectively won the Warriors a championship, won himself a Finals MVP trophy, validated his decision to join Golden State and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players in NBA history.
Cameras caught Steph’s mom Sonya and KD’s mom Wanda celebrating joyously in the tunnel after the Warriors staged a late-game comeback to win Game 3 of the Finals in Cleveland on Wednesday night.
Kevin Durant hit the biggest shot of the game, but Andre Iguodala made undoubtedly the biggest defensive play. His swipe of LeBron James’ potential game-tying shot in the closing seconds iced the comeback for Golden State.
With less than a minute left in the final minute of Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kevin Durant showed why the Warriors went out and threw a truck of money at Kevin Durant. Durant took the ball up with LeBron James guarding him, pulled up from the left wing and put a dagger in Cleveland’s championship hopes.
“They’re smarter than where you live. They are. And they keep doing it over and over in basketball, in football, in baseball, in tech, in business. It’s the greatest concentration of brilliance in North America. High IQ’s. Eveolved thinking. It’s not a shock that the Bay Area ended up changing basketball.”
All the ear splitting, headache inducing, hot-take television sports shows can out scream each other until laryngitis sets in, that they know definitively that this guy was the greatest quarterback, the best pitcher, or unquestioned top team of all-time. It’s like proclaiming the best all-time pizza or burger. It’s subjective based on your era, bias and overall taste.
