What happened: Yahoo Sports' "Air Corgi" rolled out predictions for the Spurs-Thunder Western Conference Finals, and @khobi_price framed the recurring novelty as a "legacy series." The bit ran alongside the marquee Western matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder.

Why it matters: Animal-prediction segments tend to surface around the biggest playoff series, widening reach beyond hardcore fans during a marquee round. San Antonio advanced out of the West, while the Thunder were sent into an offseason of questions after a Game 7 loss.

What to watch: Watch whether the Air Corgi segment carries into the NBA Finals, with the Spurs set to host the next round.
