Imagine winning the Championship Ring for absolutely nothing…that’s what happened on the topic of Nicola.
Every time an NBA team develops the Larry O’Brien trophy, the league’s history books will receive new slices of golden information, 2025 Titles The Oklahoma City Thunder is a little more special thanks to their security guards Nicola Topic.
If you tune it for the NBA postseason, you probably don’t remember hearing anything about the topic. It’s not a single. (Related: LeBron James & Company catches a hilarious wandering during the “real” NBA Championship celebration))
The 19-year-old topic was unable to play due to the ACL laceration and having to undergo surgery.
That being said, the topic is still technically the champion is part of the Thunder’s roster, and this is the case, so he is the first player in NBA history to win the ring without playing a single second of action.
Our research shows that Nikola’s topic will be the first player to win an NBA title before playing an NBA game. https://t.co/4j9uwpiuj6

Speaking of history, I’m going to go out for a random minirunt here, but today I went to the garage and got my car to change the oil and let them check out all the liquids, all the good ones. Also, the window was not rolled down so I had to get a new window switch.
Tell me if that window switch, a tiny little piece, cost me nearly $400… buddy… I got hot for about 30 seconds before choking it as history and couldn’t do anything.
…No, I’m not going to lie, I’m still hot! (lmao)
