Kimmel said of the NBA Finals, “It's been an exciting series and a tough ticket to get. Ticket prices in Cleveland shot up after Game 3 to an average price of $1,600 per seat. That was the average price, and of course, we all know tickets to the game are expensive. I think we expect that. But this is a photograph someone posted of the menu board at Oracle Arena where the Warriors play.” Kimmel noted the photo featured prices at the arena where a “hot dog and beer combo” was $25.50 because “$25 isn't enough, they had to tack on the extra 50 cents. I guess they figure if you're paying $1,600 or $1,800 for your seat you can no longer comprehend what amounts of money things are worth anymore.” More Kimmel: “Most of the talk this series has been about LeBron James and rightly so. You have to believe that … if you showed highlights of LeBron James playing to Dr. James Naismith, the guy who invented basketball in the late 1800s, he would wet his pants and run away screaming” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 6/11).
NBC’s Jimmy Fallon said, “There is a video online that's very cool yesterday which showed LeBron James when he was just 16 talking about his dream of playing in the NBA, which is interesting because most of his teammates still have that same dream” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 6/11).
Last night’s edition of NBC’s “The Tonight Show” once again the regular segment “Superlatives,” where host Jimmy Fallon handed awards to players from the Warriors and Cavaliers (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 6/11).
