Nick Wright Drops a Shocking NBA Title Pick That Has Everyone Talking—Who Made His Unexpected List?

Can you root for a team you’re convinced will dominate the NBA Finals—yet find yourself secretly hoping they stumble? That’s the basketball paradox Nick Wright laid bare recently, and it’s as fascinating as it is frustrating. With the playoffs boiling over and four teams clawing for that elusive Larry O’Brien Trophy, Wright singles out the Oklahoma City Thunder as the best squad in the league right now—but confesses a deep ambivalence toward cheering them on. Why? Because beneath their bulletproof defense and clinical precision lies a style that rubs some the wrong way: physical, relentless, and led by an MVP who doesn’t shy away from drawing calls in the most theatrical fashion. Love it or hate it, the Thunder’s march to the Finals has been years in the making, and their resilience is impossible to ignore. Still, as the postseason’s unpredictable nature has proven time and time again, today’s favorite can be tomorrow’s underdog. So, will Wright’s conflicted pick hold up, or will the drama of May remind us once more why nobody’s counting out the thrill of the unexpected?
