The Milwaukee Bucks came back from a 2-0 deficit to win the NBA Championship 4-2. I was rooting for the Bucks which makes this all the more fun for me. The Bucks had to wait 50 years between championships. That's a crazy long time for any fan base. That said Phoenix goes home having still never won it all. I do feel for them. They have great fans and such good players who were equally deserved.
But Giannis wasn't going to be denied. This was definitely a team effort but enough can't be said about what he did in the series. He was incredible. If he doesn't go 17-19 at the free throw line in game 6 that game has a completely different feel, and maybe outcome. I'm happy for him, Middleton, Lopez and all the Bucks. When Giannis signed long term with Milwaukee it was a win for small market teams and it was hard not root for these guys. Fun series to watch.
Fun post series note: Devin Booker, Kris Middleton and Jrue Holiday flew together to Japan to join Team USA. I know there was probably some awkwardness to it but I hope in the moment of just them they could all enjoy themselves.
Congrats to Ducks. I wanted the Suns, but good series.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to watch.
DeleteOnly saw a few minutes of the series here and there. I was pulling for CP3 and the Suns... but am happy for Bucks fans.
ReplyDeleteBoth were easy to cheer for. Couldn't complain with either as Champs.
