Former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas said he will shut down Gil's Arena show if Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers meet in the NBA Finals.
This year, the NBA is likely to crown a new champion, as three of the four teams in the Conference Finals have never won an NBA title.

Among them are the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers, who currently look like favorites to reach the Finals, leading their series 2–0 and 1–0, respectively.
Not everyone, however, is thrilled about the possibility of such a matchup. Former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas said that if these two teams face off in the Finals, he would shut down his show, Gil's Arena.
"If the Pacers make it to the Finals and it’s OKC also, just shut down this show. Ain’t no sponsors sponsoring nothing about it," Arenas said in the latest episode of Gil's Arena.
The only team still in the championship hunt with an NBA title in its franchise history is the New York Knicks, who won two championships back in the 1970s.
The Seattle SuperSonics, who later relocated and became the Oklahoma City Thunder, also have a title to their name, but the Thunder themselves have yet to win one.
