Jay Z had a lot of belief in the Oklahoma City Thunder.
So much belief that the famous rapper put $1 million on an OKC bet for the NBA Finals.
The Indiana Pacers have already foiled the wager.
You see, Jay Z didn't just bet on a Thunder series win. He specifically wagered that Oklahoma City would win the NBA Finals in five games.
Given that the Pacers are now up two games to one after Wednesday night's home win, OKC can't win the series until at least Game 6.

It was a tricky, very specific bet to begin with.
Jay Z probably isn't too bothered by this, anyway. He's got a few more millions in the bank.
It's a cool little added bonus for the Pacers, who probably couldn't care less mid-series but may look back on it and chuckle a bit, especially if they finish the whole job.
