The NBA Finals are upon us, but not without criticism. As the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder clash for the championship, there’s a notable absence of special Finals branding on the court. Quentin Grimes of the Philadelphia 76ers took to social media to express concern that the lacking signage diminishes the grandeur of this pivotal moment in the NBA season. His sentiment resonates with many fans and players alike, who believe the Finals should be marked with more distinct visual cues to highlight its significance.

Despite the aesthetics, Grimes remains optimistic about his own future, as he navigates free agency after a successful season with the Sixers. After joining from the Dallas Mavericks, he averaged 21.9 points over 28 games, a performance that has left Philadelphia eager to retain him as a restricted free agent. His growth serves as a beacon for both his career trajectory and the Sixers' aspirations moving forward.
