A court hearing for Marion "Suge" Knight, who's currently awaiting trial on murder and attempted murder charges, took a brief detour Monday when the judge asked the 53-year-old Death Row Records co-founder for his thoughts on the NBA playoffs.

Knight is accused of intentionally running down two men with his Ford F-150 pickup truck in a parking lot in Compton, Calif. in 2015. He also faces charges in a separate case for allegedly threatening the director of the movie "Straight Outta Compton," F. Gary Gray.

After requesting that Knight return to his courtroom in May, the judge in the criminal threats case asked him who he thinks will win the NBA Finals.
