As the Pacers fans celebrate the team's win, the Thunder fans are sulking. However, there's one more person who's suffering more than the Thunder fans and players. It's none other than the iconic American rapper Jay-Z. Apparently, Jay-Z had put a bet on the OKC Thunder to win the match, which didn't happen, resulting in a major loss for the rapper. But, how much did the billionaire lose? Here are all the details. Jay-Z loses millions after betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder Jay-Z had made a bet on the Oklahoma City Thunder winning the NBA Finals with a 5 game lead. The bet was apparently placed on Fanatics Sportsbook, where the odds of OKC Thunder having a 5-1 win was at +230. The rapper put down a $1 million bet on the odds, hoping that the Thunder will win at that margin. However, the OKC Thunder lost the match, thus making Jay-Z lose the bet. Since the NBA Finals 2025 are going to be a best-of-7 series and the current status is 2-1, with the Pacers leading the board, there's no chance that the Thunder will have a 5-1 lead in the series. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Siemens Energy Powers AI Data Center Expansion Siemens Energy Read More Undo As the bet was made on the condition that Thunder would sweep off the trophy with a 5-1 lead, Jay-Z lost the bet, resulting in a loss of $1 million. If the conditions were met, the rapper would have received approximately $3.3 million. Though the 25-Grammy holder has not made any official comment on the situation, fans are already giving their views on the matter. One user went ahead to say, 'That's what happens to people that don't know ball and don't work in this industry for a living.' Another fan commented, 'Something in my gut tells me he will be financially okay after this loss for him,' indicating the net worth of the rapper, which amounts to approximately $2.5 billion. However, what remains to be seen is whether the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will place any more bets for the upcoming games.

Pacers secret weapon? Caitlin Clark. Indiana undefeated with her in building during playoffs
The Indiana Pacers obviously have a talented roster full of good shooters and defenders from Tyrese Haliburton to NBA Finals Game 3 star Bennedict Mathurin. But it might be Caitlin Clark (!) who's carrying this team to an NBA title in 2025. The WNBA star for the Indiana Fever is buddies with Haliburton, and she's attended eight games as the Pacers have made a run all the way to the championship series this year. And in all eight of those games? The Pacers have notched a victory. So I'm sure the Pacers will want Clark to keep giving the "choke" celebration, or to go ahead and taunt opposing players, because that perfect 8-0 record goes along with her attendance. Let's assume she can only come to home games. They play on Friday at home and, if there's a Game 6, that will be on Thursday, June 19. The Fever have a game at home on Saturday, so maybe she'll be there. And then on the 19th, her WNBA team is on the road against the Valkyries, so I'd say she's a no for that one.
