It’s not college football, but there is a championship on the line beginning this week with the NBA finals commencing. In fact, the Indiana Pacers already took Game 1 vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder in a thrilling finish. With the close proximity to Columbus, you would think that most Ohioans are rooting for the Pacers, but what about the athletes playing on the Ohio State football team?
The Ohio State football creative team recently dropped a video asking the players who will take the NBA finals, and the reviews were rather mixed. Again, you’d think those from the Midwest would be all in on the Pacers, but that wasn’t necessarily the case. In fact, quite a few Buckeye football players (and coaches) picked the Thunder to hoist the trophy.
Remember, while there’s a lot of Ohio natives and DNA in the program, OSU recruits at a national level, so there are rooting interests beyond the upper Midwest.
Watch as several members of the Ohio State football program give their thoughts on whether it’ll be the Oklahoma City Thunder or Indiana Pacers in the 2025 NBA Finals.
We, for one, would love to see Indiana get its first NBA title, and this feels like the year in which it could happen.
