Great win by Bucks! Very good for the league in that they're technically not a "super team" and Giannis is a bit of a throwback before the current 3 point revolution. His closest comparison offensively and defensively is probably peak (roughly 2000-2007) Kevin Garnett (less the polish of Garnett's post game and jumper), though he may be a little closer to the athleticism and quickness of prime Dwight Howard/David Robinson/Shawn Kemp ... or maybe even Wilt Chamberlain when he was skinnier in college and first few years in NBA (though as much as a freak Giannis is, no one is as much of an overall athletic marvel that Wilt was).
An incredible performance from Giannis. Perhaps the most dominant Finals since at least LeBron 2016, and perhaps since early 2000s Shaq and maybe even since Jordan vs Suns 1993.

Lakers really played themselves out of the playoffs. Wild stuff.

Born & raised in Providence, RI! Lived in Boston for most my 20s. Didn't move to Chicago (for residency) until I was like 38 years old. 
<yeah. I'm old. lol.>

I don't think I've ever seen a team wet the bed more, with a wider discrepancy between what they could've been and what they were. Quite possibly the most talented team in NBA history. I completely screwed up my prediction of them as I picked them to win the NBA finals. Like most, I had worries about the Westbrook fit and their defense, but thought they would figure it out after about 20-25 games and become too formidable talent-wise plus just have so much depth that their avg age wouldn't be a huge issue. I also thought Nunn would play and Ariza's return would make a bigger impact on their perimeter D. I also banked on AD being healthy for most of the season, but this may be the last time I'll be willing to count on him unless I see more consistency in the future first. But ADs absence plus the more surprising lack of effort, urgency and continuity on a Lebron led team was just too much to overcome (especially defensively).

Well, it didn't help that they completely destroyed their depth AND defense in the last two years.
