Revisit top performers with updated info to compound traffic.
Dorris Burke ruined the entire broadcast. Thank you espn for firing her!
Such a great explanation.
compare this video to cavs vs warriors game 7 2016…… 25m compared to not even 700k views. no one wants to watch a free throw off
Everything was clear and easy.
Every couple of weeks I come back to this video and feel the same feelings that I had that night…. like a pro sports team that I've rooted for my entire sports-life finally won it all 😭
Basketball turned very bored. Now it's only three points shots . I miss 90's
Doris Burke ruined the finals
Such a satisfying video.
Sure glad Doris Burke won't be calling the Finals next season. Tbh, her habit of going silent for long stretches of time made this video way easier to watch with the sound on. 😄
Pacers sold their soul for a title and then it backfired when haliburton tore his Achilles in game 7
