Former Pacers star Jalen Rose makes bold four-word prediction for Game 7 of NBA Finals
David is one win away from taking down Goliath. The Indiana Pacers have scratched and clawed their way to forcing a Game 7 against the heavily favored Oklahoma City Thunder. Game 7 on Sunday night may be in Oklahoma City, but former Pacers star Jalen Rose has a (rather not surprising) bold prediction. "All Indy all day," he told Fox News Digital at Fanatics Fest in New York on Friday. Rose raved about Tyrese Haliburton, who has had his fair share of memorable playoff moments this year. In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, he mimicked Pacers legend Reggie Miller with a choke signal. In Game 1 of this series, he hit a game-winner with 0.3 seconds left. Haliburton played 23 minutes in Game 6 as he deals with a reported calf strain, but if he gets even better by Sunday, Rose thinks his prediction is even more obvious. "I just wish Haliburton is healthy for Game 7. If he's ready to go, Indiana's gonna win it," he claimed. "He can dribble, pass and shoot, he makes people around him better, he has an infectious smile. I'm really rooting for him, I'm really rooting for the team, and he's going to keep getting better." The Pacers won Game 1 because of Haliburton, and even took a 2-1 series lead after winning the third game of the series. The Thunder then began to show why they won 68 games in the regular season, winning each of the next two. But with the Pacers' 108-91 win on Thursday, Oklahoma City has outscored Indiana by just seven total points in the entire series. A win for the Pacers on Sunday would give them their first NBA championship. They won three ABA titles in the early 1970s. As for Oklahoma City, it would be their first championship since 1979 when they were the Seattle SuperSonics.

He could legitimately play on all three levels of the defense and has throughout his high school career. He could even play some running back. Advertisement But seeing him line up on the edge against some of the best offensive tackles in the country will be a treat in Indianapolis. There's a reason why teams are still pushing to move him off his Miami commitment. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH MIAMI FANS AT All eyes on Izayia Williams Williams (6-1, 210) might be as talented as any linebacker in the country. He's got a lot to like about his game including the ability to be a three-down player that can go sideline-to-sideline. But his recruitment has been a roller coaster. He has a few commitments under his belt already and is currently part of coach Lane Kiffin's class at Ole Miss. Will things stay that way? Advertisement It's one of the top questions we'll want to find out at media day on Monday. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH OLE MISS FANS AT J'Zavien Currence's versatility The South Carolina commit is an extremely versatile defensive prospect. His ability to hit like a safety but run like a corner while being in a linebacker's body is why he's a top player in the country. It'll be fun to see him in drills but also in 7-on-7 where he can be used as a chess piece to cause issues. Coach Shane Beamer and company got a future star in the Rock Hill (S.C.) South Pointe standout. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH SOUTH CAROLINA FANS AT Who takes us by surprise? It's always interesting to see who steps up and shows out unexpectedly at these events. There are a handful of players outside the top 200 or so that could fit the bill. Nick Abrams II is hanging onto a spot in the Rivals250. Will he show that he belongs among the nation's very elite? Advertisement What about IMG star Duyon Forkpa? He's more of a thumper but has elite traits that I can't wait to see showcased in Indy. Someone will seize an opportunity to make a name for himself. The only questions is who will that be?

Unhittable Brewers Rookie Jacob Misiorowski Is Putting MLB On Notice
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski throws to the Minnesota Twins in the first ... More inning of a baseball game Friday, June 20, 2025, in Minneapolis. (AP Photo/Bruce Kluckhohn) Until the seventh inning of last night's game, Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski was technically the most unhittable pitcher in baseball history. Misiorowski retired the first 18 Minnesota Twins batters he faced last night. He lost his perfect game when he walked Byron Buxton to lead off the seventh, then gave up a home run to Matt Wallner before he was taken out of the game. The homer didn't just end the no-hitter—it was the first hit the rookie allowed in more than 11 innings of work to start his career. In his MLB debut on July 12, he allowed no hits and four walks against the St. Louis Cardinals through five innings before he rolled his ankle and had to leave the game. As per Sarah Langs of his 11 hitless innings to start his career broke the MLB record for a starting pitcher. Scouting Jacob Misiorowski If you had to pick a pitching prospect who would be the most likely to break the record for no-hit innings, it would be Misiorowski. His stuff was considered by many to be the best in the minors prior to his call-up last week. rates him the 66th-best overall prospect in the game. His fastball is the highlight of his scouting report, averaging 99.7 mph and touching 102. Only five pitchers have higher average fastball velocity, and all of them are short relievers. Standing at 6 foot 7, he uses his length to get an incredible 7 foot 7 inches of extension, which is the most in MLB. He has two outstanding breaking pitches. He throws a 94.6 mph slider primarily to right-handed hitters, which is by far the hardest such pitch in the game. No other hurler averages more than 92.0 mph on a slider. He relies on an 87.6 mph curveball to get lefties out, and only two pitchers in the game throw a faster curve. He also mixes in an occasional changeup, which has generated a swinging strike all four times he has thrown it so far. Command And Location With such an incredible arsenal, one might wonder why Misiorowski wasn't considered a top ten prospect—especially considering his results over his first two outings. The knock on him is his inconsistent command, which led several preseason scouting reports to note he had risk of becoming a reliever. While that wasn't the case last night, he averaged 5.4 walks per nine innings in his minor-league career. In fact, he gave up more walks (140) than hits (138) in his 233 2/3 innings in the minors since he was chosen by the Brewers in the second round of the 2022 draft. He appears to have made significant strides with his ability to locate since the start of this season. He brought his walks down to 4.4 per nine innings in Triple-A Nashville this year, and he increased his percentage of pitches in the strike zone from 46.4% in 2024 to 51.7% before his call-up. He has spotted 58.5% of pitches in the zone across his first two MLB starts. A few weeks ago, there was pressure building for a shake-up in Milwaukee's rotation. Jacob Misiorowski and other Nashville pitchers appeared to be better than some of the arms in the big leagues. When they called him up, the Brewers bumped out veteran Aaron Civale, necessitating a trade. The rookie has rewarded the club's decision with an unbelievable no-hit streak, and his starts will be appointment viewing for the foreseeable future.
