The Milwaukee Bucks are the NBA Champions after defeating the Phoenix Suns in 6 games. Giannis Antetokounmpo won the NBA Finals MVP and delivered the Bucks their first championship in 50 years. Giannis put on one of the best NBA Finals clinching performances I have ever seen. He carried the Bucks and game 6 and put on a masterful performance in which he put up 50 points.
With that being said, questions that have to be answered going forward are can the Bucks repeat as Champions? I will make a prediction as to how I potentially see both teams faring the next 4 years and the likelihood of them getting back to the big stage.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks will have the core of their team together for a while with their three star players under contract for a minimum 4 more years. With having a top 5 player in Giannis you have to love their chances with always being in the picture as Championship contenders. The biggest obstacle for getting back to the Finals will be the Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference. It also will be interesting to see what some of the other top teams in the east, specifically the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics do to improve their rosters over the next couple of years.
The Nets who have Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving. This star studded trio will serve a major challenge to the NBA Champions. Injury was a major reason as to why the Nets make the finals this year. With Irving’s injury history it can be assumed he will mode sometime at some point next year. Winning the championship gives a team confidence they can compete against anyone, The Bucks will get more consistent play from both Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday offensively next year in the playoffs. I predict the Bucks will make it back to the NBA Finals within the next 4 years.
