In 1979, the first words spoken on ESPN weren't just an announcement.

If you're a fan, they were a sports prophecy.

What you'll see in the next minutes, hours, and days to follow.

Glad you're with us tonight.

May convince you, you've gone to sports heaven.

And right now, you're standing on the edge of tomorrow.

This fall, the next era of ESPN begins.

Sports forever.

Hi, hello and welcome to Who Collecting podcast. We talk about the NBA, which we're doing here right under the basket, Eamon Schumpert. At Paycom Center with the Thunder are celebrating their first ever NBA championship with a strong second half performance to finish out a really strong season.

The proper team won the championship, in my opinion.

They were the best team all year long.

They were the best team in this series.

Shea Gilles-Elexander had an excellent second half.

He got great support from Chet Holmgren defensively and Jalen Williams scoring enough points, 20 points offensively.

But I feel like tonight will not be remembered for anything the Thunder do.

I mean, when you think about it, as soon as you saw Tyree's Halliburton, we saw the pop on the slow mode.

Once you saw that heel completely touched floor, even like we were saying earlier, even for the Thunder players.

It was like a shell shock, very eerie after that.

Again, they found their rhythm in the second half.

So I can agree with you.

The Thunder should have won.

Would have liked to see it at full strength.
