Game 7 memories from stars and celebs: Kobe Bryant stands out
Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night had a number of sports celebrities — from outside the basketball world, even — thinking of one player. Kobe Bryant. Bryant played in only one Game 7 of a finals, that coming in 2010, but for plenty in the sports world his 23-point, 15-rebound effort that led the Los Angeles Lakers to an 83-79 win over the Boston Celtics for his fifth and final championship still stands out as the quintessential moment from ultimate games. The NBA asked celebrities and star athletes what Game 7 makes them think of, and some of the responses got right to the point. 'Kobe,' soccer legend David Beckham said. 'What do I think?? I think Lakers 2010 — Pau (Gasol) and Kobe," tennis star Carlos Alcaraz said. Another tennis great, Novak Djokovic, said he thought of Lakers-Celtics in 2010 and the Cleveland-Golden State finale where LeBron James and Kyrie Irving came up big late for the Cavaliers in 2016. 'I'm thinking about electric atmosphere on the stands, no one is seated for the whole game,' Djokovic said. 'I'm thinking about Kobe and Gasol stellar performance in Game 7 of 2010 Lakers-Celtics and I'm thinking about LeBron's block and Irving's 3 pointer to seal the deal for Cavs vs Warriors Game 7 in 2016 thriller.' Cavs-Warriors 2016 another memory Part of the lore of the Cleveland-Golden State finale in 2016 wasn't just James getting a chase-down block against the Warriors' Andre Iguodala in the final moments. It was also ABC announcer Mike Breen's description of the call. Tennis player Ben Shelton and Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua both remembered Breen's line perfectly: 'Blocked by James,' they both responded. Other quotes A selection of other responses collected by the NBA: 'Where legends are born.' — tennis' Frances Tiafoe. 'This is basketball, the game that everybody wants to watch. Can't wait !!!!!!!' — soccer star Kylian Mbappé. ''All eyes.' It's my stage.' — Colorado football coach and former NFL and MLB star Deion Sanders. 'GOAT TIME.' — NFL legend Jerry Rice. 'When I hear the words Game 7, I automatically think of the epic and legendary 3-pointer that Ray Allen made in Game 6 to force Game 7, where my Miami Heat team went on to win the NBA Finals championship.' — rapper Flo Rida. 'It's About to Go Down!!! Who will become legend? MJ, Kobe, Bron ... who's next?' — Cedric the Entertainer. 'Control what you can control mentality! I just wanted to make sure I did all the little things for my team.' — Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade. 'Everything you ever worked on and worked for is all in this one moment. Take it play by play ... leave it all on the court.' — former Heat guard Mario Chalmers. 'Play into the emotion. Don't expect fair. Expect the unimaginable.' — Cleveland's Iman Shumpert, part of the 2016 Cavs win. ___ AP NBA: recommended

Fans Are Not Happy After Major Change During NBA Finals
Fans Are Not Happy After Major Change During NBA Finals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. NBA fans have been begging for a big change during ESPN's presentation of the NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. Advertisement During Game 2 in Oklahoma City on Sunday, they got what they asked for, but still, it was not enough. Amid concern about ratings between two small market teams, criticism of ESPN's NBA Finals broadcast team and the pressure of a new television rights deal beginning next season, viewers have been clamoring for the NBA and ESPN to bring back the nostalgic on-court graphic elements of the NBA Finals broadcasts in the past. In particular, calls mounted during Game 1 for the court to include large icons of the Larry O'Brien trophy and/or the NBA Finals script logo to give the championship series a standout feel. General view of the Finals logo on the court prior to game four of the 2014 NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs at American Airlines Donnan-Imagn Images The script on the court last appeared in 2014, taken away by the league due to safety concerns. Advertisement The image of the O'Brien trophy at center court has also gone by the wayside, a strange juxtaposition when compared to the daring, trophy-laden court designs of the NBA Cup in recent years. "To be honest, I hadn't thought all that much about it until I [saw] it [on social media]," NBA Commissioner admitted to The Athletic after Game 1. "I'm nostalgic, as well, for certain things... It's nice when you're looking back on highlights and they stand out because you see that trophy logo or some other indication that it's a special event. So, we'll look at it.' It appears that the commissioner did not need a long look to make a major overhaul. During Game 2, a digital mini version of the Finals trophy and the script logo appeared during ESPN's broadcast of the game on ABC. Fans were not pleased with the understated logos and the inauthentic look of the projected images over the court for television. Advertisement "They somehow made it worse," one fan on X replied. "they heard all the criticism and did the laziest thing possible," said one sarcastic user. "Looks bad and out of place," said another response. "The NBA heard the concerns over the lack of Finals logos, then put the most hideous logo on the court instead," criticized a fan. The change for Game 2 happened in quick response to the initial criticism. While it was a big call, the watered-down improvement still did not represent the size of the occasion in the eyes of fans — and that was the entire point.
