21 Pictures of Cats Who Look Ready to Sub In For Game 7 of the NBA Finals

With the NBA Finals heating up, it's not just the pros bringing the intensity. Cats everywhere are suiting up and showing out. These four-pawed phenoms have been practicing their jump shots, perfecting their defense (read: swatting everything), and sharpening their claws for maximum court dominance.

Whether they're dunking into laundry baskets or dribbling hair ties across the floor, these feline ballers are channeling Finals energy with every pounce. The living room is their arena, the scratching post is their hoop, and they will chase down that rebound, even if it's just a rogue ping-pong ball.

Training is serious. High-protein kibble. Midday naps for recovery. Stair sprints. Laser-pointer agility drills. They watch the real Finals from the couch, tails twitching with anticipation, clearly analyzing plays and plotting their next meowve.

While the NBA's top athletes battle it out for the trophy, the cats are quietly preparing their own paw-some takeover. The playoffs have gone pro, but the fluffiest underdogs are still in it for the love of the game. One thing's for sure: in this house, every game is game 7.
