NBA prediction No. 10: Giannis will get his first taste of the NBA Finals
When it’s time for the stars to step up, I don’t believe that we’ll see Giannis shy away from the spotlight. Many questioned him last season when he couldn’t elevate his Bucks in the postseason. I don’t believe that will be the case this season and we’ll see Giannis and the Bucks get their first taste, in a long time, at the NBA Finals.
I don’t know if they will best LeBron James and the Lakers when they get there, but they’ll have as good as a shot as any. And Giannis will be a big reason why. The Bucks getting to the Finals will prove to be important for a number of reasons, at the top being that Giannis could elect to re-sign should he get that close to a championship.
The Bucks are clearly the best team in the Eastern Conference and might be the best team in the NBA. But, especially in the NBA, there’s having to prove it when all the lights are on. It’s time for Giannis and the Bucks to do that. I believe they will.
