PRO PERFORMANCES
LBJ Plays “One of the Biggest Games of His Career”
While, Anthony Davis brought his A-game on the defensive end, LeBron James brought all the offensive highlights on his way to a near triple double.
You knew the King was hyped based on this attack and assault of the rim:
He wasn’t just driving to the rim though, as even his one-legged fadeaways were money:
The skillset from one of the greatest ever was also on display on this and-one play that started by splitting a defense.
After the huge win, LeBron said that was one of the “biggest games” of his career. All 17 years.
James finally rocked the Nike LeBron 18 for a full game outside of warm-ups after rocking with the 17 the entire bubble. This orange colorway doesn’t have a release date yet, but you can find other colors in the future at StockX.
Stewy’s Perfect Comeback Story
One of the greats in the WNBA in Breanna Stewart had her career in doubt after suffering an Achilles tear in 2019. The Seattle Storm star was on top of the world, winning the 2018 regular season and WNBA Finals MVP before that season-ending injury.
Stewy came back with a vengeance though, dominating teams alongside Sue Bird and Jewell Loyd (more on them later). This includes a game 3 sweep of the Las Vegas Aces tonight 92-59.
There was never a doubt on who would take WNBA Finals MVP once more, and the celebration was on during post-game.
Breanna rocked a black Nike Air Zoom BB NXT that isn’t currently available, but you can find other colors at StockX and GOAT.

Your Shot’ll Float Too
Tyler Herro hasn’t had the best NBA Finals series, but the 20-year old can still bring the head-shaking highlights. Case in point, this floater that absolutely floated. Herro needed to arc the ball way high over the long arms of Davis, so the ball just hung above the shot clock before falling into the hoop.
The young Miami guard wore the Nike Kobe 5 Protro PJ Tucker PE this game. You can find this colorway at StockX and GOAT.
Didn’t Call Bank, Didn’t Matter
Duncan Robinson had a solid night from deep in game 4, even sinking this high arcing shot with time expiring. Alex Caruso Was in his grill, but Robinson somehow sank the shot off the glass.
