The NBA is back—the Oklahoma City Thunder ring ceremony before they meet the newly outfitted Houston Rockets. Then, Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler jump Luka Doncic in an alley, circling him, knives out. NBC and the NBA reignited their old marriage—allowing us to see our child, Michael Jordan, once again; his lever screaming […]
