  1. I've been saying it and im gunna keep saying it. LUKA DONฤŒIฤ† IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD!!

  2. Ant really thought he was the protagonist ๐Ÿ˜‚

    The other Wolves gave my respect but Ant walking out like that was a b*tch move after all that sh*t talking he did throughout the playoffs.

  3. Timberpups fans gonna live vicariously through the Celts now, but the Mavs have already won the championship. It's a canon event ๐Ÿ˜‚

  4. There's a reason why there's been NO team that has won from a 0-3 deficit. It is difficult to near impossible.

  5. Anthony Edwards laughed and made fun of a team that had 38 points in the 3rd quarter. Wonder how he felt having 40 points in the 3rd quarter. Karma remains undefeated

  6. Hopefully they understand the difference between an all star (Edwards), and a SUPERSTAR (Luka) now! Also, classy move by Edwards ducking out as soon as the game was over. Talk ish before and during, but first one to run away.

  7. Luka and Kyrie really came into Minnesota to handle BUSINESS. Both drops 36 points and completely snatching the soul out of everybody in the Target Center tonight. These NBA Finals with Luka/Kyrie vs Tatum/Brown is really going to be the battle of the duos ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ”ฅ

  8. Now let's see who else the media overhypes to cope with the fact that a foreign player is the face of the NBA.
