The underdog OKC has crashed the playoffs silencing critics.

The OKC have only been to the finals twice and lost to the Heat both times. Then they made the worst trade in the century, by trading off James Harden, ending all Championship aspirations. The OKC are the biggest "They had all the talent in the world why didn't they win" of the century. All of those records might change in the 2016 NBA Playoffs ( Except for the Harden trade and losses to the Heat). They have finished off the promising Spurs in the Second Round and are Demolishing the Warriors with the series 3-1, OKC 3, GSW 1. This spark of Playoff clutchness and urgency has proved too much for both the 1 and 2 seeds of the dominant West. They are looking for revenge against Lebron James in the Finals. The links to the OKC highlight montages will be down below.

The OKC vs Spurs last game is sure to be heated.

So far the playoffs have been packed with intense matchups, controversial calls, and blowouts in the first. The OKC got off to a rocky start in game 1 losing by an astounding 32 points, but is now leading the series 3-2. Although the spurs were cheated out of game 2 the OKC has had some nice road wins. For the Spurs Kawhi Leonard, and Lamarcus Aldridge have been stepping up there game.
Russell Westbrook had an emotional performance with 35 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists. That was just one assist short of a triple double. Durant had a nice showing to with 23 points, 5 assists, and 6 rebounds. Game 6 is sure to be the spurs doom and the okc's lucky break. The previous games are down below.

Should LeBron step down the title "King James" and give it to James Harden?

James Harden as stated in Shreyas's NBA news has started to play phenomenally lately while the LeBron James has started to grow old and wear down. He isn't like he was when he was  on the Heat. Is it time for King James to abdicate the throne and give it to All Star James Harden.

Return of the OLD king james.

A rising star that is a MVP candidate.

Why are Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry called the "Splash Brothers"

Their is a picture of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson

The Splash Brothers nickname refers to the duo's ability to "splash" the net with the ball, particularly on three-point shots.^[17] The term began in 2012 in a tweet from Brian Witt, a writer for the Warriors website. On December 21 against the Charlotte Bobcats, Curry and Thompson had combined for 25 points and seven 3-pointers by halftime, when Witt posted an update of their performance on the team's Twitter account with a #SplashBrothers hashtag; Golden State would win the game 115–100.^[25] The name was a play off an older nickname for another pair of San Francisco Bay Area teammates, baseball players Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, who were known as the Bash Brothers when they played for the Oakland Athletics.^[16][25] The Warriors liked the nickname, and encouraged Witt to continue tweeting it.

ALL STAR WEEKEND!!!!

All the best players from both the East and West to face off in a game and a series of contests

Congrats to Kobe for his final All Star after a very succesful career.
Also to Drake for bieng special guest.
Russell Westbrook was the MVP of the game.
Klay Thompson in a extremely heated three point shooting contest against his ,"Splash Brother," He came out victorious.
Zach Lavine won the slam dunk contest which in my opinion was highway robbery. Aaron Gordon's over the mascot under the legs dunk was amazing. Look for the link to watch it below
Karl Anthony Towns( Played high school in Metuchen) won the skills challenge against fellow rookies and veteran all stars.
