The upcoming 2025 NBA Finals features Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers, both of whom have been pivotal to their teams’ success. Gilgeous-Alexander, acknowledged as the league's MVP, and Haliburton, an Olympic gold medalist, represent the culmination of trades dating back to 2017. The Thunder, with an impressive season record, face off against a Pacers team eager for championship glory. Haliburton expressed pride in his team's achievement after defeating the Knicks to secure their finals berth.
The seeds for the 2025 NBA Finals began getting planted unknowingly in 2017, back when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was about to enroll at Kentucky and Tyrese Haliburton was getting ready for his senior year of high school in Wisconsin.
Man, I'm just so proud of this group, Haliburton said in the on-court televised interview after the Pacers' victory over the Knicks. I don't even have words right now.
