The 2025 NBA Finals are more than just a championship showdown this year — they’re a symbolic handoff to a new generation of superstars. With the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers set to tip off, the spotlight shines brightest on two transformative point guards: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the league’s newly crowned MVP, and Tyrese Haliburton, the surprise legend behind Indiana’s improbable run. Their duel marks a definitive changing of the guard in a league long dominated by established icons and stars of a previous decade.

This Finals matchup is historic not just for the franchises involved, but for the position these stars play. It’s rare for both Finals teams to be led by point guards who so thoroughly dictate their teams’ destinies. The 2025 NBA Finals will be a showcase of two contrasting superstar archetypes, each vying to prove their approach can win it all.

The new era of the NBA starts today at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT on ABC presented by YouTube TV
