Kyrie Irving still could not believe it. After grueling 7 games in 2016 NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers came out on top after being down 3-1. He thought that he’s still in game mode that he even imagines game 8 of NBA Finals.

Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals gave us a memorable and amazing match along with some great basketball news and info looking ahead. For basketball pundits and those who love the tension in close games, they probably want game 8. But the reasonable thing to hope for is watching for the third time between Warriors and Cavaliers in the 2017 NBA Finals.

Key Questions

The latest NBA game news tells us that here are questions surrounding the Warriors with their eight free agents this season. Starting Small Forward Harrison Barnes is a restricted free agent who will likely be released after his awful performance in the Finals. Big men Festus Ezeli and Marreese Speights are also free agents. There are also Leandro Barbosa, Brandon Rush, Ian Clark, James McAdoo and Anderson Varejao looking for new deals.

I think the Cavaliers just have no match in Eastern Conference as long as Lebron James plays for them, but things get complicated in the Western Conference. Kevin Durant’s decision could be the biggest factor in this potential NBA Finals and this will likely have a tremendous impact on major league sports betting lines. But the Warriors still have the two-time MVP Stephen Curry at guard and All-NBA second and third performers Draymond Green at forward and Klay Thompson at guard.

Player Departures

Warriors still have to deal with the sports news surrounding the departure of their former assistant Luke Walton who is headed to Los Angeles to coach the Lakers. He will leave a big hole in the Warriors’ coaching staff. Even though Tyron Lue is not under contract for next season, I think it’s safe to say that he’s coming back.

There has been a report that the Warriors might go chase Kevin Durant and others in free agency provided that should another star want to join them, they could make it happen with a few easy moves. Trading Andre Iguodala or Andrew Bogut is seen as the most likely move to free up that kind of salary cap space.  If this does come to fruition, it will make the team one of the best sports bets in the league.

Who Will Be the Favorite?

Many columnists writing nba basketball news are talking about whether the Warriors are the early favorites to win the 2017 NBA championship, but another win for Lebron will put him next to Michael Jordan. It’s hard to believe that after having big miles on his body, Lebron could still put up a legendary run in the playoff. It makes a lot of people embarrassed for quickly replacing his status as the league’s best player, but will Lebron have enough motivation for another great run?

One of the common criticisms of sporting leagues in the United States is that their media and advertising campaigns are very country-specific.  From a business standpoint, this means that large markets are often missed and that organizations like the NBA, NFL, and MLB unnecessarily avoid key demographics that would ultimately drive revenue numbers.

Because of this, we have started to see more of an international focus in each of these sporting entities.  The NFL has started to play some of its gaming scheduled in London, England and the NBA has initiated its World Game where athletes from different countries are able to square-off against the US team.  These types of strategies will likely go far in terms of the ways new audiences will be exposed to US sports.

World Team vs. NBA’s Rising Stars

This month, the central basketball event will clearly be seen in the 2016 March Madness bracket.  But last month, the NBA’s World Game was played and featured many of the league’s rising stars against players from countries outside of the US.  When we are talking about “rising stars,” it refers to freshman and sophomores (NBA league players in their first or second year)   As expected, it was a high scoring affair with the US team edging out their World rivals by a score of 157-154.  Taking home the game MVP honor was Zach Lavine, who scored 30 points and pulled down seven rebounds. Levine hit 13 of 20 shots from the field, helping push the US team to victory.

Slam Dunk Contest

The game was played on the day before the NBA slam dunk contest, which is often viewed as one of the highlights of the league’s all-star weekend.  Levine won the event last year during his rookie season, and was widely expected to show a repeat victory in the event despite a strong rivalry with Aaron Gordon.

The showdown managed to live up to the hype, with both players scoring impressive rounds on several occasions.  Levine did turn out to be the victor, however, securing his place in NBA history as a repeat winner of the slam dunk contest during his first two seasons in the league.

Sizing Up All-Star Weekend

In all, these events managed to generate viewer rating that were higher than what has been seen in recent years.  The World Game and Rising Stars Challenge was coupled with an epic slam dunk contest that excited fans and brought in new audiences from diverse countries.  At this stage, this is a clear goal for the NBA so when all of this is taken together we can say that the weekend was a success in terms of the ways it managed to engage the global audience and expand on the international footprint the NBA is looking to create.  Next year, the World team will look to improve on its performance and create a bigger challenge for the NBA’s newest rising stars — and we will all be watching to see if they are able to accomplish this feat.
