Indiana holds a 1-0 series lead following a close 111-110 victory on Thursday. Forward Pascal Siakam played well against the Thunder's tough defense, posting a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds.
The 31-year-old has averaged 20.9 points and 6.0 rebounds per game throughout this postseason. He was awarded the Larry Bird Trophy as the Eastern Conference finals MVP for averaging 24.8 points per game against the New York Knicks.
The thing is, Siakam isn't just talented on the basketball court; he also has some solid looking soccer skills. The NBA posted a new video to its X account on Saturday of the All-Star forward having fun during practice by kicking a basketball around like a soccer ball.

'More of P's soccer skills on display today,' the league wrote in the post's caption.

They also shared a similar video from before Thursday's game, in which he is seen doing the same thing.
'P always brings the skills,' the NBA shared. 'Now he's bringing them back to the finals 🔥.'
Siakam, a native of Cameroon, isn't the only NBA All-Star who likes to show off his soccer skills. Multiple videos of Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic kicking around a basketball have been posted to show his love of the sport.
Siakam and the Pacers play the Thunder in Game 2 of the NBA Finals at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday on ABC.

Thunder vs. Pacers score: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads late OKC rally to stun Pacers, tie NBA Finals at 2-2
It wasn't pretty. But for the Oklahoma City Thunder, it got the job done. The Thunder overcame poor shooting from deep and an aggressive Indiana Pacers defense Friday night for a 111-104 win in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led a fourth-quarter rally after struggling for much of the game. Advertisement With the win, the Thunder tie the series at 2-2 and re-seize the home-court advantage they relented with a Game 1 loss in Oklahoma City. The series now shifts to Oklahoma City for Game 5. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads late rally The Pacers appeared to be in control with an 87-80 lead heading into the fourth quarter against a Thunder team that had struggled on offense for most of the night. But the Thunder kept close enough for their MVP to lead the late charge. The Pacers limited Gilgeous-Alexander as a playmaker and managed to keep him off the free-throw line for much of the night. But the NBA's MVP played like one in the fourth quarter. Advertisement Gilgeous-Alexander scored nine straight Thunder points and secured the first Thunder lead of the second half at 104-103 with 2:23 remaining on a contested baseline jumper. The Thunder never trailed again. Gilgeous-Alexander finished with a game-high 35 points, three rebounds and three steals. He shot 12 of 24 from the floor and hit all 10 of this free-throw attempts. He scored 15 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter. Gilgeous-Alexander did not record an assist for the first time in five years as the Thunder struggled as a team to move the ball on a night where they recorded just 11 assists on 37 made field goals. Advertisement But he made up for his lack of playmaking by taking over the game down the stretch to quiet a once-raucous Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd that believed it was on the verge of celebrating a 3-1 Finals lead. "We played with desperation to the end the game, and that's why we won," Gilgeous-Alexander told ESPN. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder in a fourth-quarter Game 4 rally.

With the game on the line, Mathurin committed multiple miscues in the final minute. He missed three free throws and committed two away-from-play fouls. The away-from-play fouls took place before the ball was inbounded and awarded the Thunder a free throw each time while allowing them to retain possession. Advertisement The late mistakes combined with Gilgeous-Alexander's sterling fourth quarter were enough for Oklahoma City to secure the rally. SGA finally makes it to the free-throw line In addition to struggling as a playmaker, Gilgeous-Alexander also struggled for much of the night at one of the things he does best — getting to the line. Gilgeous-Alexander didn't attempt a free throw in the first half. His first free throws didn't arrive until 6:06 remained in the third quarter. He hit both, but didn't shoot another until the fourth. But with the game on the line, Gilgeous-Alexander repeatedly drew fouls to secure shots and stop the clock. And he delivered when he got to the line, hitting all eight of his attempts in the fourth quarter to complete his 10-of-10 night. When the game was over, only Jalen Williams (11 of 11) had more free-throw attempts than Gilgeous-Alexander. Thunder overcome awful shooting night from deep Ball movement wasn't the only thing vexing the the Thunder on Friday. Advertisement They also posted one of their worst 3-point shooting nights of the season. At halftime, Luguentz Dort had the only made Thunder 3 on a 1-of-10 first-half effort as a team. Things didn't get much better after halftime. The Thunder finished 3 of 16 (18.8%) from deep, a rate that allowed the Pacers to maintain control until late. But one of those three made 3s was critical in OKC's late rally. With the clock ticking under three minutes, Williams thought about a 3, but dribbled inside the line and kicked it back out to Gilgeous-Alexander on the wing. Gilgeous-Alexander pulled up from beyond the arc for his only made 3 on four attempts that cut Indiana's lead to 103-102. The Thunder made up for their struggles from deep with 47.4% shooting from the floor. They secured a 43-33 advantage in rebounds, including a 12-7 edge on the offensive glass that led to second chances. Advertisement They forced 15 Pacers turnovers and repeatedly got to and delivered at the line while hitting 34 of 38 (89.5%) of their free-throw attempts. The Pacers countered with a 25-of-33 (75.8%) free-throw effort on their home floor. Caruso, Williams step up It's not a Thunder win without at least one big effort off the bench. On Friday, it was Alex Caruso who delivered. Caruso's active defense and efficiency from the field helped keep the Thunder close while they struggled elsewhere. Caruso finished the night with 20 points, three rebounds and five steals. He shot 7 of 9 from the floor. And his steals repeatedly turned into chances on offense. He became the first player in NBA history to have two 20-point games in the Finals after not having a single one during the regular season. Williams, meanwhile, paced the starting unit early and finished with 27 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Chet Holmgren was a force in the post while tallying 14 points, 15 rebounds and a block. Pacers come up excruciatingly short As is usually the case, the Pacers got a strong balanced effort with five players in double figures, including four starters. Advertisement Former NBA champion Pascal Siakam paced Indiana early with 10 points and four steals in the first quarter. He finished with a team-high 20 points alongside eight rebounds, five assists and five steals. Obi Toppin took his turn as Indiana's bench leader and led the Pacers to their third-quarter advantage with eight of his 17 points in the stanza. Tyrese Haliburton finished with 18 points, seven assists, two rebounds and two steals in a balanced effort in the box score. But his game-high five turnovers helped open the door for the Thunder rally. Now, instead of a 3-1 lead, the Pacers go back to Oklahoma City for Game 5 with the series tied and the Thunder back in possession of home-court advantage. Advertisement It was a tremendous fourth-quarter swing in the wrong direction Friday night that could ultimately cost the Pacers an NBA championship.

"Seeing what he had to do to become who he is today" - Michael Jordan's daughter admits "The Last Dance" has been eye-opening
"Seeing what he had to do to become who he is today" - Michael Jordan's daughter admits "The Last Dance" has been eye-opening originally appeared on Basketball Network. When "The Last Dance" dropped in April 2020, it wasn't just a nostalgic jolt for NBA fans; it turned into a 10-part cultural moment, peeling back the curtain on Michael Jordan's fierce mentality, inner circle, and obsession with greatness. Advertisement For millions who grew up watching his fadeaways and buzzer-beaters, it was a reminder. But for his daughter, Jasmine Jordan, it was a revelation she never knew about her father. A competitive father Growing up, Jasmine experienced Jordan less as a basketball god and more as a father who tried to win at everything. Yet, even with the competitiveness woven into their everyday life, there were still layers of Jordan, the father he never showed at home. "I always knew he was competitive; I mean, he competes with us just playing Sudoku or little puzzles at home," Jasmine said. "But actually seeing that dog in him and what he had to do to become who he is today has definitely been eye-opening and honestly inspiring." What The Last Dance achieved wasn't simply nostalgia; it became a powerful mirror reflecting the grueling cost of greatness. Through behind-the-scenes footage and archival interviews, the series resurrected the raw energy of the Chicago Bulls dynasty era, charting Jordan's dominance from 1984 to 1998. Advertisement It detailed everything: the torment of the Detroit Pistons' Jordan Rules, the 1993 retirement following his father's murder and the sheer will behind the 1996 championship run after returning to the court. Jasmine watched it all unfold — just like the rest of the world. The competitiveness she grew up with suddenly made more sense. She saw how that relentless drive wasn't a personality quirk, but a survival mechanism. From berating teammates in practice to transforming even coin tosses into mental warfare, the Jordan in The Last Dance was shaped by loss, scrutiny and a hunger to never be second. That reaction echoed across a generation that only knew Jordan through highlights and sneaker ads. But for Jasmine, it was about reconciling the icon with the parent. Related: "To put it mildly, every night you had to go against a legend" - Dominique Wilkins makes a case he should be in the GOAT debate Googling Jordan Long before the ESPN docuseries sparked global conversation, Jasmine had already taken it upon herself to bridge that gap. In earlier interviews, she revealed a small yet telling anecdote: as a child, she had to Google her father to understand the magnitude of who he really was. Advertisement To her, he wasn't the man who had silenced the Utah Jazz crowds or shredded defenses with his tongue wagging and eyes locked. He was the man who tucked her in as a normal father. Jasmine, born in 1992 during the Bulls' second championship three-peat, was just a toddler during much of her father's reign. The six-time NBA champion, five-time MVP and 10-time scoring leader may have been a myth to most, but to her, he was just "dad" — until the documentary reintroduced her to the man everyone else knew. "It's been incredible to watch," Jasmine said of the documentary. In those early searches, she stumbled on the legacy, commercials, buzzer-beaters, press conferences and all that. Yet, none of it captured the emotional texture of his journey the way The Last Dance eventually did. Advertisement Jordan's legacy has long been measured in rings, records and retired jerseys. But Jasmine's reaction reminds people that legacy is also built on perspective, on what gets left unsaid inside homes while the world watches.
