Kevin Garnett exceeded expectations across steals, blocks, and points while the Celtics won the opening tip. Adam Sandler's character placed a large bet that Garnett would have a standout night and exclaimed about stretching his legs in Season 2 of Curb Your Enthusiasm. A chant and a line about taking the ball punctuate the basketball moment. NBC reinstated the instrumental theme song for its NBA broadcasts. Pat Riley in 2006 is juxtaposed with Adrien Brody's portrayal in Winning Time. A low-stakes podcast spat between Trae Young and Patrick Beverley appears. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's role in Game of Death and portrayals of Draymond Green and Stephen Curry in Clipped are noted.
