The NBA Finals are underway between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder, with each team battling for the game's ultimate prize. The Kansas City Chiefs are making their mark on the highly contested series, with their All-Pro offensive lineman shown recently in attendance.
Chiefs center Creed Humphrey was spotted in Oklahoma City for game 2 of the series last Sunday. The Oklahoma native fully supported the Thunder, who defeated Indiana in the game to tie the series at a game each.
During his tenure at the University of Oklahoma, Humphrey was one of the most impressive athletes in his draft class. During his junior season, he was a team captain in 2020 and earned honors as the Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year. Kansas City selected him in the second round, 63rd overall, in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Before the start of last season, Humphrey agreed to a $72 million extension with the Chiefs over four years with a $50 million guarantee.

Top 5 Young Cores in the NBA Right Now, Including the Detroit Pistons
These five NBA teams have built foundations that could put them in title contention for years to come. Here's a look at the 5 most exciting and promising young cores set up to dominate the future of the NBA. Honorable Mention: Indiana Pacers Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images Notable young talent: Tyrese Haliburton (25), Andrew Nembhard (25), Aaron Nesmith (25) Advertisement Given the Pacers' impressive run to this year's NBA Finals, they had to be mentioned. With their superstar in Tyrese Haliburton being only 25 years old, this team has an immensely bright future. With a young core as a supporting cast, we likely haven't seen the Pacers' best basketball yet. But with significant contributions from NBA vets Pascal Siakam (31) and Myles Turner (29), the Pacers fall just outside the list. Also Read: NBA insider explains why Sacramento Kings traded Tyrese Haliburton to Indiana Pacers instead of De'Aaron Fox 5. Orlando Magic Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Notable young talent: Paolo Banchero (22), Franz Wagner (23), Anthony Black (22) Advertisement With back-to-back playoff appearances, the Magic are set up for future success. Led by a future All-NBA talent in Paolo Banchero, the Magic have a talented surrounding young core that will only get better with time. The upcoming season will be a huge test for the Magic as they will look to advance further than the first round of the playoffs for the first time since the 2010 season. 4. Detroit Pistons Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Notable young talent: Cade Cunningham (23), Jalen Duren (21), Ausar Thompson (22), Jaden Ivy (23), After a league-worst 14-68 record last year, Pistons star Cade Cunningham led the team to the 6-seed in the Eastern Conference and gave the New York Knicks a great battle in the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. With four legitimate foundational players in Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, and Jaden Ivy all being 23 or younger, this roster has the potential to be scary good. The future is bright in Detroit. 3. Houston Rockets Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images Notable young talent: Jalen Green (23), Amen Thompson (22), Alperen Şengün (22), Jabari Smith Jr. (22) Advertisement Despite a disappointing playoff showing, the Houston Rockets finished as the 2 seed in the tight Western Conference race. This team is a deep, athletic scoring threat that has immense young talent on the defensive side of the ball as well. Şengün has drawn comparisons to Nikola Jokić, proving that the upside for him and this team could be at a championship level. It will be interesting to see how they bounce back after being upset in the first round of the playoffs by Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. 2. San Antonio Spurs Credit: Reggie Hildred-Imagn Images Notable young talent: Victor Wembanyama (21), Stephon Castle (20), Devin Vassell (24), De'Aaron Fox (27) Advertisement The Spurs are nearly number one on the list based on Victor Wembanyama alone. He is a generational talent with future MVP upside. As he develops, there is no limit to the ceiling of this team's success. The Spurs also have this year's Rookie of the Year in Stephon Castle. With back-to-back Rookie of the Year's in San Antonio, a strong supporting young cast, and this year's number 2 pick in the NBA draft, the Spurs' future will be exciting to watch.

Oklahoma City Thunder Credit: Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images Notable young talent: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (26), Jalen Williams (24), Chet Holmgren (23), Cason Wallace (21) Advertisement The heavy favorites to win this year's NBA Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder, are arguably the most talented team in the league, regardless of age. With SGA winning the MVP at only 26 years old, and Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren being 24 and 23 years old, respectively, the Thunder have a legit big three that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Not to mention, they have one of the deepest benches in the league. And are tied for the youngest average player age in the league at 24 years old. The Thunder will be a premier championship contender for years to come. Also Read: 50 Best NBA players right now: Where do Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Tyrese Haliburton land? Related Headlines

Stephen A. Smith blasts ‘ignorant' Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton for latest media criticisms
The post Stephen A. Smith blasts 'ignorant' Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton for latest media criticisms appeared first on ClutchPoints. After Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton called out the 'talking heads' of the media, saying he doesn't care about the narrative surrounding him, ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith responded. With the Pacers having won Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Smith would take issue with Haliburton's point on the media. Advertisement As Haliburton would question 'what do they really know about basketball' in regards to the media, Smith would call the statement 'ignorant' and pointed to the former players who work in the field. 'That's a very ignorant statement on his part,' Smith said. 'You know, it is. Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Shaq, y'all you others, Kendrick Perkins, I'm just saying. So what do you mean? That's the media. That's who you're talking about. Now you're talking about me. I'm the guy that wanted him drafted by the New York Knicks. I'm the guy that said that the players were wrong to label him overrated. Did you remember that? So I give him credit. He was smart enough not to mention my name because he was assuming, because had he mentioned me, I'd go in deeper. But I won't.' Stephen A. Smith sends warning to Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Even LeBron James has called out the media aside from the Pacers star amid the NBA Finals, but Smith isn't agreeing with the current players. He would say that Haliburton needs to focus more on winning a championship and would send a warning if the point guard was subtly mentioning Smith in his comments. Advertisement 'What I will say to you is this, in the end, it just amazes me how cats can be sometimes. Win the damn chip, bro. In the first two games of this NBA final series, you had your moment with 1.3 seconds left. Other than that, you didn't play well,' Smith continued. 'That ain't on me. That's on you, you know. And, oh, by the way, just in case he was talking about me, my brother, I'm not going away. I'm gonna be here for a while. So next year, and the year after that…I'm going to be here, and players far more accomplished and far more superior have made their efforts trying to call me out. How has that worked out?' At any rate, Haliburton will look to lead Indiana to a 3-1 series lead with Game 4 happening on Thursday night.

Chiefs Owner's Wife Reacts to Brittany Mahomes' Personal Message With Patrick Mahomes
Chiefs Owner's Wife Reacts to Brittany Mahomes' Personal Message With Patrick Mahomes originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt's wife, Tavia Hunt, responded with love and joy after Brittany Mahomes shared a special post on Instagram featuring her husband Patrick Mahomes and their children. Brittany Mahomes posted several family photos Thursday, revealing the face of their baby daughter, Golden Raye, for the very first time. The pictures included the entire Mahomes family, Brittany Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes, 4-year-old Sterling, 2-year-old Bronze, and 5-month-old Golden, all smiling together. 'What truly matters🤍,' Brittany Mahomes wrote in her caption. Hunt didn't hold back her emotions. She commented on the post with a sweet message. 'These are everything!🥹 I can't stop smiling at all of the love and joy! So much blessing!🙏🏼 Love to you all!❤️' Hunt is a former Miss Missouri Teen USA and longtime supporter of family and community initiatives through the Hunt Family Foundation. She often shares moments from her personal life and Chiefs-related events on social media. She and Clark Hunt have three children, including Gracie Hunt, a former Miss Kansas USA, who is active in sports media and modeling. Meanwhile, the post Brittany Mahomes shared marked a major moment for their family. While Golden was born back in January, this was the first time fans were able to see her face. Before now, Brittany Mahomes had kept Golden out of the spotlight, even explaining months earlier that her daughter appeared in videos but wasn't visible to followers. In addition to the new photos of baby Golden, Brittany Mahomes included individual shots of all three children and a sibling group picture, showing how close the kids are already becoming. As the Chiefs prepare for their next season, it's clear the team's top quarterback has just as much support off the field as he does on it and Tavia Hunt's response proves story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
