This NBA season marked a true changing of the guard. In this year’s NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers, there will be no Lebron James, Steph Curry, Nikola Jokić, or even Jayson Tatum. Instead, an entirely new generation of hoops stars has emerged.
The NBA Finals will be broadcast on ABC starting June 5, and you can stream every second of the action live on Sling TV for the lowest price on the market. And when you sign up for Sling Orange now, you’ll get 50% off your first month.
A new generation steps up
The last time the Thunder played in the NBA Finals, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and Kevin Durant were the «Big 3» and all near the beginnings of their careers. And for a little more perspective, the last time the Indiana Pacers played in the Finals, they were led by Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose.
But this year, entirely new talent is taking their teams into battle on the hardwood for the right to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy. This year’s reigning MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, led Oklahoma City to a league-best 68-14 in the regular season—the youngest team ever to win at least 60 games. They now take on Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers.
