Jimmy Fallon’s NBA Finals superlatives are amazing (Video)

The NBA Finals are tied 2-2, and Jimmy Fallon is jumping on the opportunity to give us more spot on superlatives to chew on. 

David Letterman retired last month, which suddenly made Jimmy Fallon one of the longest tenured late night hosts on television. That’s mostly by default, but there’s a lot of pressure on shots like Fallon to deliver in an era that features no one with ties to the Johnny Carson era of late night.

Instead, this is the era of viral late night content, and Fallon has thus far been one of the best at producing this type of material on the broadest of spectrums. One of his best viral bits is his superlatives, which took aim at the NBA Finals and the players and coaches currently trying to win a title.

Needless to say, Fallon was pretty spot on with his NBA Finals superlatives, of which included some sick burns for David Blatt and Andrew Bogut.

The best of the superlatives might have been a dig at David Blatt for looking like a TV infomercial lawyer. It wasn’t that long ago that people thought he was better suited for that gig than he was for the job of head coach of the Cavaliers. But winning your way to the NBA Finals can change a lot of the perception about you, and that’s what we’ve seen from Blatt this season.

Of course, there’s always regression to mock as well and Andrew Bogut looking up how bologna is made seems to reveal why he’s been such a non-factor in the NBA Finals thus far.

It’s still unclear who is going to be crowned NBA champions this year, but one thing is certain — Jimmy Fallon is still the champion of late night until someone comes along and takes that title form him.
