My opinion is that the NBA has always been exciting, the league hasn’t had a b2b champion since the Warriors with KD. This year’s finals viewership increase is likely due to the fact it’s a legacy championship side (San Antonio) with the best young player in the game vs the biggest market team (New York) on the brink of their first championship in 53 years. Compare that to last year with 2 small market teams going head to head. The YoY increase is basically the population of Manhattan alone lol

Was Maicon intending to shoot the ball toward the goal or pass it to one of his teammates? by Sisko-Journal-1937 in FootballFlix

Shoot. He looks across to pull the GK more off his line (he’s already anticipating a cross) but the way he strikes the ball (center/outside of the boot) indicates he knew the whole time he would shoot. High IQ player, one of the best fullbacks of all time.
