No bench player in NBA Finals history has ever posted 10+ PTS, 5+ AST and 5+ STL in a single game...

...until T.J. McConnell did tonight.

Being from the UK, I've never had a favourite NBA team or properly supported one, just always watched loads of teams. But after the playoffs and seeing just what kind of team they are, I can't help but feel I've fallen in love with the #IndianaPacers and want to see them succeed in the future! #NBA

It ain’t over β€˜till:

1. It’s over
2. The fat lady sings
3. The clock reads 0.0 after 4 Qs.

The climb feels...steep y'all. It's okay. Not over. The Pacers are capable of miracles but that's what this 4th quarter on the road calls for. Nothing short. OKC is rolling now. Gonna take an out-of-body offensive explosion from a Pacer.

Pacers are NOT giving up! What incredible mental fortitude to fight their way through such a tough situation after Hali goes down.

The refs are favouring OKC, and they are still just grinding it out, playing their game and keeping their heads high! This is how champions are made!

The hell is going on with this reffing?? Why is OKC just getting all these little shitty calls?
At some point it feels intentional the way OKC has been favoured...

TJ McConnell about to morph into prime Steph Curry for the last 3 quarters. Guess we can at least pray for that right? πŸ˜…

Goddamn, that is tragic for Haliburton 😭
Was going absolutely crazy for the first half of Q1, looking like he was about to have a legendary game and then he goes down. You saw it on his face, he knows he ain't gonna be able to check back in and he's done. Just hope he recovers well β™₯️

Hali with 3 3s already, he's really on fire tonight! No way he can keep up that kinda shooting production all game, but OKC won't be able to afford to give him an inch of space all game now, and he's gonna get the chance to go full point-GOD! Hope he takes that chance when it comes!

Here we gooooo GAME 7 of the NBA FINALS!! Staying up late (here in the UK) to watch live and cannot wait to see how it plays out! My mind says OKC has got this, but my heart is definitely saying Pacers! Either way, I'm sure it'll be an awesome game!

if you can take a 30-point lead into halftime in game 1 you should be able to advance to the second round right then

Wait, I was wrong, it's not even the 2nd half yet 😭😭

Not even half way into the 3rd quarter of game 1 and already someone needs to put the Grizzlies out of their misery...

These are gonna feel like the longest 4 games in history for the Grizz.

Can we make this series a best-of-5?

Goddamn, this is getting a bit embarrassing for the #Bucks right now.
Pretty sure this game is over already, so they gonna have to get their heads together if they don't want this series to be over in 4.

First game of the NBA playoffs (excluding play-in) starts in an hour! Feels good to be able to watch live NBA basketball in the UK. I feel good about the Bucks. Even if they lose this one, Dame is back next game, and I reckon they'll take the series! #nba #basketball #bucksvspacers #nbaplayoffs

Mate if you tried that with me I'd make you eat one of my wheels.

But tbh I don't blame you, us cripples are usually twats that would definitely deserve being shoved to the ground...

Jesus christ, astronauts on the space station could see that Nazi salute from space.

From the UK, all I can do is hope the Americans who aren't part of the cult don't suffer too much over the next 4+ years.

Though, right now your country seems fucked.

Quick steal off the rebound, followed up with a post up in traffic. Pretty happy with this play!

I'm currently trying to fundraise for a basketball wheelchair, anyone that could help me would be massively appreciated.

Finally editing my clips to merge them together & make them look better!

This one, I hit the post up, got the &1, then nailed the free throw.

Doing a huge gym session followed by a basketball session is killer.
Can barely feel my arms and now gotta somehow try and push a wheelchair & shoot a ball.

Love it though!

Writing a limited series about the struggles of a man who catches the common cold and how it affects him and those around him. Currently looking to pitch to HBO, not sure on how many emmies I want

Terrible Game Idea: IKEA roguelike. Traverse a maze of furniture, collect random trinkets with unpronounceable names, try to find the exit.

Clip from my game the other day. Drove high and hit a clean shot from the elbow.
