Just hearing Tree say, “At least you have Ben Simmons,” had me laughing out loud. Seriously, how did he say that with a straight face?

Once again another great creative video keep up the incredible work

this one’s for the purists 💯 can’t wait for these finals to start. also urinatingtree nba content is always fire.

This is the most invested I've been in the NBA finals in a long time, because no matter who wins history is getting made and it'll be a good story

Tree, I actually thank you. Your Bucks bit was actually kind to us, yet was still on point. A lot of outside people still scratch their heads over firing Budenholzer, but if you really saw how he coached and underachieved in the playoffs, the 2021 championship just delayed the inevitable. If not for Durant's big shoe over the line, Bud is gone after 2021.

True. Had they lost in 2021 they would have blown that team up the way they are going to do so this year. Long live Haslam.

Hell yeah, only happens once or twice a year but Utree talking about NBA is always gold

Best finals matchup in years

[@hugobarragan177]

This is what is to have parity. I'm a simple hoosier boy. This has been the best ball I've seen. I love it.

[@fortynights1513]

The early 2020’s certainly has a decent amount of it

NBA went from full Mickey Mouse League to Chaos Mouse League, it's an improvement, a much needed one, loved this season

[@djmetcalf3815]

If I had a nickel for every time Tree compared Jamal Murray to Michael Jordan in this video I’d have 2 nickels. It’s not a lot but it’s weird it happened twice.

[@Titan27883]

Recently got into basketball this year and I also love your content, best of both world, go heat 🔥

This is the first time in history in where we have two good finals in NBA and NHL 😀
