00:00No surprise, the Thunder, minus 560 to win the NBA championship.

00:05That Shea Gilgis Alexander's price to win the NBA Finals MVP closely reflects at minus 500.

00:11Listen, if you are willing to lay the juice, if you're willing to lay the chalk,

00:16and the very idea you just think the Thunder win an NBA championship,

00:19you're getting better prices on SGA, who has scored 72 total points in the first two games,

00:2534-plus in both.

00:27If Oklahoma City is winning the NBA Finals, the RS, it's SGA.

00:31That's that.

00:32So you're getting a slightly better number if you just want to focus on one outcome.

00:36Exactly.

00:37And if you're saying, like, well, I don't want to do that because if SGA gets injured,

00:41then they went, look, understand this, SGA gets injured, no, they don't win the championship.

00:44The Pacers will win the championship at that point.

00:46So you're basically just saying, is he going to stay healthy?

00:49And if he does, they are going to win the series.

00:51We just don't know in how many games they're actually going to win the series.

00:54So I agree with you there.

00:55That minus 500 price, which, again, value is in the eye of the beholder.

00:59I'm not playing minus 500.

01:01What happens if it wins and you get a better price?

01:02That's just being a smart handicapper saying, I know OKC is going to win.

01:06SGA is the best player.

01:07He's going to be the MVP.

01:09Why not save some money?

01:10Because, again, the downside is, well, what happens if he gets injured in the next game?

01:13Again, they won't win the series if he gets injured in the next game

01:16and doesn't appear back in the NBA Finals.
