'It was a point where they tried to call us 'the blackhole of the NBA.' Boo! But 4 years later, when they mention the [OKC] Thunder organization… they gotta mention you as NBA champs!' Wiggins said.
Wiggins went on to clarify his comments later, when speaking with reporters. He said he meant to say 'black eye,' instead of black hole.
Absolutely no one is making fun or taking shots at the Thunder now. Oklahoma City are NBA champions for the very first time in that city, after playing there for nearly two decades. The Thunder previously won a title when they were known as the Supersonics, in Seattle.

Oklahoma City defeated the Indiana Pacers in seven games to clinch the championship. The Thunder were led by league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who got lots of love and flowers from fans at the team's championship parade.
Aaron Wiggins had a great run in the NBA Finals
Wiggins proved himself to be a solid role player this season. He averaged 12 points per game this campaign for the club. He came up big in the NBA Finals, as he scored in double figures twice during the seven game series.
The guard's best performance in the NBA Finals against Indiana was in Game 2. In that contest, he scored 18 points off of 6-for-11 shooting from the floor. His numbers quieted down somewhat in the last few contests, but Wiggins proved himself this season to be a hustle player filled with heart and toughness.

Wiggins has played for the Thunder since 2021. He was selected in the second round of that year's NBA Draft. Oklahoma City selected him, after he had played his college basketball at Maryland.
The Thunder's road to another title begins on Wednesday, as the team has the 15th overall selection in the NBA Draft in Brooklyn.

John Wall announces retirement from the NBA after 11 seasons: 'I gave this game everything I had'
Washington Wizards superstar John Wall is calling it a career. Wall announced his retirement from the NBA on Tuesday in an emotional video thanking his fans, family and teammates for their support during his 11 years as a player. Wall said he's leaving the game with no regrets, saying, "I gave this game everything I had." Wall rose to prominence as a high schooler, receiving an invite to the Reebok All-American Camp as a sophomore. He continued to show out during high school, and entered college as one of the top-ranked players in the country. That ranking turned out to be accurate. Wall spent just one season at the University of Kentucky before going pro. He entered the 2010 NBA Draft, where the Wizards made him the No. 1 overall pick. He more than lived up to that promise early in his career. Wall was a dominant force in the NBA over his first nine seasons before injuries limited his production. This story will be updated.

Chisholm group formally takes control of the Boston Celtics
The ownership group led by Bill Chisholm has officially taken control of the team, and has circulated a release to that effect in tandem with the team. After the NBA's Board of Governors unanimously voted to allow the sale of the team to Chisholm's group, the $6.1 billion purchase of the first phase of the deal is now on the books, with the remainder set to be paid by 2028, with former majority owner and lead governor Wyc Grousbeck remaining with the Celtics as team CEO and alternate governor. Per the release, Chisholm will serve as the team's lead governor, with fellow group member Aditya Mittal joining Grousbeck as an alternate governor. Grousbeck will also be "running day to day operations with Chisholm and the existing basketball and business management teams." Bruce Beal, Andrew Bialecki, Dom Ferrante, Rob Hale, Mario Ho, and Ian Loring and global investment firm Sixth Street are all members of note in the investment group. "This truly is a dream come true for me and my family," said Chisholm. "I feel so fortunate to be here as part of this new investor group, who are accomplished, driven people who care deeply about the Celtics and the Boston community." "On behalf of our group, I am thrilled to partner with Wyc, Brad Stevens and Rich Gotham to move this outstanding organization forward," he added. "We are committed to building on the legacy of the Celtics and raising banners, and I can't wait for the team to get back out there this fall." "The Celtics have been my life's work for the past 23 years," said Grousbeck. "This incredible ride is now continuing. I am fired up to be shoulder to shoulder with Bill as we pull every lever to go after another banner. There is nothing better than winning."

Rick Carlisle agrees to multi-year extension with Indiana Pacers: Report
Rick Carlisle has agreed to a multi-year extension with the Indiana Pacers, longtime NBA insider Marc Stein reported Tuesday. Carlisle, 65, led the Pacers to their first NBA Finals appearance since 2000, and their second all-time, this past season. In pursuit of their first-ever NBA championship, they fell to the 68-win Oklahoma City Thunder in seven games. Still, Carlisle piloted one of the more unexpected and memorable playoff runs in recent league history. In his fourth year leading the franchise, Indiana won 50 games and earned the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. A year removed from making a similar magical carpet ride to the Eastern Conference finals, the Pacers dazzled again and this time carried their mojo into June. Indiana knocked out the Milwaukee Bucks in five games, then ousted the conference's top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in five more. While both the Bucks and Cavaliers dealt with injury issues, the run-and-gun Pacers proved they belonged in the upper echelon of the East with a collection of dominant wins and a few others that went down to the wire, when star point guard Tyrese Haliburton came to life. Haliburton made a habit of delivering clutch shots this past postseason, ushering in dramatic victories and rendering an anonymous player poll from earlier in the year completely obsolete. At the time, the two-time All-Star was voted the "most overrated" player in the league. He flushed that narrative once more in the Eastern Conference finals with a game-tying, buzzer-beating bucket to force overtime against the New York Knicks in the series opener, and then again in Game 1 of the NBA Finals thanks to a last-second, game-winning jumper that completed another comeback. Indiana took care of the Knicks in six games, but Haliburton's Achilles tear early in Game 7 of the NBA Finals was a gut punch to Indiana's underdog effort. The Pacers will be without Haliburton next season as he recovers from his devastating injury. They also won't have longtime center Myles Turner, who surprisingly signed with the Bucks in free agency. But Indiana will have plenty of other pieces from the 2024-25 team and Carlisle at the helm. This story is being updated.
