OKC Thunder Win 2025 NBA Title, SGA wins Finals MVP, Haliburton’s BRUTAL injury & Durant traded to Houston (Ep 1293)

The OKC Thunder are the 2025 NBA Champions and SGA is your Finals MVP!! Wow… that was a #NBAFinals Game 7 and a half, with Tyrese Haliburton going down with a BRUTAL achilles injury, but Indiana fighting it out til the end. We break down how OKC won Game 7 (hint defence + forcing TOs) and LOADS more as we dig into it all on today’s show.

Plus: Kevin Durant got traded to Houston, where he will definitely be happy and fulfilled, right? 

Anyway, it’s covered in today’s chokers episode of #NBA #straya! 

It’s all there in the NBA Straya Game Wrap, as well as the NBA Straya Awards: That’s Not A Knife, Old Mate No Mates, Spud of the Night, Better Than Lonzo Ball and more.... Like MAGIC TWEET OF THE WEEK! 

Plus some YEAH NAHs, Unpopular Opinion of the Day & OUTBACK TAKEHOUSE !!! 

There’s also an Aussie Player Watch as ALEX DUCAS just became the 9th ever Australian to win an NBA Championship! While JOHNNY FURPHY got out there for a little bit at the end of Game 7. 

There’s also an ANDREW GAZE GREY MAMBA AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN THE FIELD OF EXCELLENCE just to put SGA’s season in context. Hint: it was REALLY GOOD. 

We then quickly look ahead to who’s favoured to win the 2026 title!
