The Brooklyn Nets will win the 2022 NBA championship

Even though this wouldn’t exactly be a shocking revelation, I believe that the Brooklyn Nets are going to win the 2022 NBA Championship – whether Kyrie Irving is back full-time with the team or not.

Kevin Durant is playing at an absurd level and James Harden has been good enough for this team to be the top seed in the Eastern Conference. If they can remain healthy, there’s no question that this team will be one of the favorites to win it all.

This time, unlike last season, luck will also be on their side and they will have just enough to overcome the Golden State Warriors is one of the most anticipated NBA Finals matchups in recent championship history.
