Charles Barkley on NBA Finals Game 4: 'The Pacers blew this game... this is going to hurt'
The Indiana Pacers had a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter and looked in control and on their way to a 3-1 series lead in the NBA Finals. But then the offense went cold and stagnant, and the OKC Thunder closed like the best team in the NBA they are, finishing the game on a 12-1 run to snatch the game away with a 111-104 win and return home with a split in Indianapolis and homecourt advantage back in their hands. Charles Barkley didn't pull any punches in his postgame analysis on NBA TV. "No. 1, they gave it away," he said. "I thought you saw the difference between All-Stars guys and really good players and superstars. Shai (Gilgeous-Alexander) brought this thing home. Like, 'Yo big fella, bring this home.' And I have no idea what the Pacers were doing on the offensive end. Me and Grant (Hill) were going crazy like, 'Yo man, get it to (Pascal) Siakam, he's your best 1-on-1 player. They didn't even run a play for him... It was so frustrating. Grant, we can say all we want to about Oklahoma City — the Pacers blew this game." Siakam, who led the Pacers in scoring with 20 points, took just one shot in the fourth quarter (a missed 3-pointer with 10 minutes left). "This is going to hurt. This game is going to hurt the Pacers because they had this game under control, they were playing well. OKC was like, "OK, we might be in trouble,' then all of a sudden, they let them get close..."

Ex Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady Offers Post-Draft Advice to Shedeur Sanders
Ex Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady Offers Post-Draft Advice to Shedeur Sanders originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders just suffered a historic fall in this year's NFL Draft. Advertisement After he was projected to be a top-10 pick in the selection process earlier this month, Sanders fell all the way to the fifth round, where he was selected by the Cleveland Browns - the team that many thought would take him with the No. 2 overall pick. But when it comes to making the most out of a late-round selection, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady can speak confidently. Brady appeared on the Impaulsive podcast with Logan Paul and Mike Majlak and offered Shedeur some advice. "So, nobody knows. I actually texted Shedeur because I know him very well," Brady said. "And I said, 'Dude, whatever happens, wherever you go, that's your first day. Day 2 matters more than the draft. I was 199. So, who could speak on it better than me – what that really means. Use it as motivation. You're gonna get your chances, go take advantage of it.'" Advertisement Sanders and Brady have had a relationship since Shedeur was at Jackson State and signed an NIL deal with the Brady Brand. That relationship carried over when he transferred to Colorado when his famous football father, Deion, was named head coach. Brady said he remembered another draft slide back in 2005 that might've motivated another pretty successful NFL signal caller. "I remember when they were talking about Aaron Rodgers sliding and Aaron slid to like 21 in the first round or whatever it was. I'm like, 'Dude, you're the 21st pick in the first round. I think they still think you're pretty good. You're still a great player. You're still a first-round pick in the NFL. There's only 32 of those guys every year.' So, use it as motivation," he said. "Wherever you end up going, it's still about your performance. Like, what do you do when you get there, because you're gonna get there. "He has to show up every day because, as a quarterback, you have to be a leader," Brady added. "And to me a leader is, do I care about my teammates and do I care about what we're trying to accomplish?" Advertisement Sanders has an opportunity to make a name for himself, this time away from his famous father and coach, if he can make the best of what looked like a bad situation during the NFL Draft.

LeBron James Admits The Cavaliers Were A Small Market Team Until His Arrival Changed Everything
LeBron James Admits The Cavaliers Were A Small Market Team Until His Arrival Changed Everything originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The NBA, just like most other sports, is dominated by big-market teams. Today, cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, and Philadelphia are considered the most popular destinations for players and fans alike, while the other teams can often get overlooked. As a former member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James has a lot of experience playing for small-market teams, and he recently reflected on the experience in the latest episode of the 'Mind the Game' podcast. Advertisement "I played in Cleveland for 11 years and we were a small market," said James. I just think it's all about the storylines, it's about what people can say on TV and create these Superman vs. Batman or DC Comics vs. Marvel. When it comes to the game of basketball, it doesn't matter who's representing who, it's about two great teams. We talked previously in a lot of our episodes, and we praise a lot of individuals, and rightfully so. We have unbelievable individuals in our sport over the years who have done great things and have put themselves in a position to be talked about. But one thing we cannot disrespect is great teams. We can't disrespect the 2003 Detroit Pistons with Chauncey, Rip, Tayshaun, Ben, Rasheed, and the rest of that group. These are teams that are completely put together. You can disrespect the 2019 Toronto Raptors with Fred VanVleet, Kawhi, and Pascal. That's a great team; you look at that roster like that's a great team." The Cavaliers were an afterthought in the NBA before LeBron's arrival. They were near the bottom of the league in attendance and had achieved almost no playoff success. But when LeBron joined the team (in 2003 and then again in 2014), they instantly became one of the league's featured franchises with regular spots on national television and being a frequent topic of conversation in the media as they won a championship in four straight Finals trips. LeBron made the Cavs popular at the time in a way that no other superstar could. Unlike most of his peers, LeBron controls the spotlight, and it follows him everywhere. It's part of the reason why he isn't as worried about market size or franchise popularity, and he doesn't believe those factors should take away from any team's coverage or narrative. This year, the conversation on big market vs small market seems especially relevant with the Thunder and Pacers representing the East and West in the Finals. While it's not a matchup the fans were hoping for, LeBron still says that everyone should respect and appreciate their journey, given how difficult it was to pull off. 'So we have this Indiana-OKC situation, and these are two great teams. And if you're a basketball fan and you love our game, you can learn so much from watching the way both of those teams play," said James on the podcast. "Yes, you have your favorite players or favorite colors, and there's something to that. But if we're just talking about the purity of the game and the sport, these are two teams that play the game the right way. And you love to see it. And even after that, they f**king earned it. They've been through the trenches, and injuries happen and things of that nature, but at the end of the day, you've still gotta show up and play the game. The game is won between the four lines. If someone's injured, you can't just forfeit because you have your players. You still have to play the game. Indiana's been playing great basketball, and OKC has been doing this all year. And I think it'll be a great Finals to watch. I love the game, so I'll be in attendance.' Advertisement LeBron is currently playing for the NBA's highest-market team (Los Angeles Lakers) but even when he played for the Cavaliers, he never let it impact his effort or commitment to winning. In the same way, he's not letting the market size of the matchup take away any respect he has for the teams left. Just like the Cavaliers earned their time in the spotlight, the Thunder and Pacers have earned theirs this season, and James wants to do his part to ensure they are being properly celebrated and acknowledged for their amazing feat. For LeBron, he just wants to appreciate great teams regardless of where they are located or how they came to be.
