Really happy for Giannis.
Even happier for Chris Paul.
Sad for Monty though.

League now belongs to Giannis! Do believe Lebron has one more season in him where he can claim that throne for a few months again but Giannis is inevitable.
Does this mean you're a Bucks fan now?

Feel bad for Monty - dude is a class-act.
he is, and the upside is outside of Chris paul, this is a young talented team. we'll see what happens with Jalen smith, but I think the sun's f**ked up by not drafting Haliburton. that would have been Chris Paul's protege. but they also need a legit four. I think James Jones has a legit eye for talent. he was mocked for drafting Cam Johnson, that doesn't seem like such a bad pick now.
Really like the Suns team. It will interesting what they do with CP3. I think it'll be a mistake to give him a 3 year 100m+ contract but not sure if they have an option - if that's what CP3 wants.
Regardless of the NBA finals performance - Ayton was really damn good in rest of the series and that's the biggest development for you guys imho. If he can take his game to another level and he certainly has the tools to do that - Suns with him, Book, Bridges, and Cam are gonna be a problem for a while.

Congrats to Milwaukee. A true champion! Giannis can be something really special if he can improve his outside game a few notches.

Bud?
Giannis not considered Top 5?
The Jrue trade?
Unreal fight from Milwaukee
Yeah Sports are crazy. What if the Bucks didn´t lose their advance in game 5 against the Nets?
What if the Bucks didn´t lose their advance in game 3 against the Raptors in 2019?
Ultimately, the Bucks are NBA champions and that´s the only thing that matters.
I was really happy to see Milwaukee and Phoenix in the Finals. It was a great battle between two s**tty small market teams like some dumbass would say on Espn.
I was really torned. I wanted both teams to win.
But in the end Giannis and the Bucks winning is maybe the best thing that could happen to the league.
And it couldn´t happen to a better man than Giannis. Such a nice dude and a hell of a player.
I hope the young players watch Giannis and see that hard work, tenacity, self-criticism and desire can lead you to the top of the mountain. Giannis has never quit.
Is he the best player in the league? Maybe not, that would probably be Durant still. But who cares honestly.
This Greek god is a fighter on both end of the floor.

Unbelievable performance from Giannis. How many finals performances top that? I don't think that many...even though Suns don't have an inside presence. He will be an all-timer. Top 15 top 10.
Ayton might as well stayed in Phoenix last night.

Yup he got owned last night. The best news is he's only 22. Giannis at 26 is older than the Suns core so the future looks bright still. The Greek freak just put on an absolute show and they deserved to win.
