2023 NBA CHAMPIONS

Nikola Jokic has finally reached the mountain top of the 2023 NBA Season by closing out game 5 of the NBA Finals as best he could with a solid 28 points and 16 boards bailing out the squad as they were struggling heavily to maintain their hold on securing their first NBA Championship in franchise History.

I gotta tip my “B” hat to Jokic. This Dude’s strong mentality and solid composure throughout the NBA Season, the NBA Playoffs and the NBA Finals were levels above his peers, hands down. History was in the making the moment this year NBA Finals started. Jokic became the first player in history to lead the league in points (600), boards (269) and dimes (190) in a single postseason while practically averaging a triple-double per game, collecting averages of 30 points, 13.5 boards and 9.5 dimes. Worthy and deserving of the Bill Russell trophy as well as the NBA Finals MVP.

Record breaking accolades aside, Jokic couldn’t have completed these historical feats without a healthy Jamal Murray to release some of the responsibility and a driven and motivated squad that showed how battle tested they were throughout the entire Season with only one common goal in mind: the NBA Championship that they have now collected as a team.

The Heat should still keep their heads up high, real talk! Although they fell short once again at claiming the NBA Championship, they became the only second No. 8 Seed to make it to the NBA Finals after running through some very tough opposition. They balled hard night after night on both ends of the court but were met with a better team destined to enter the record books.

Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets for emerging as the NBA Champions of the NBA Season 2023. You Boys dominated the NBA Playoffs and the Finals in such a convincing fashion that the Championship could not be denied.

Well done!

2022 NBA FINALS CHAMPIONS

Stephen Curry has regained his rightful place atop the mountain of the 2022 NBA Season by closing out game 6 of the NBA Finals on enemy territory with a brilliant Steph-like performance scoring 34 points, holding down a modest 7 bords and 7 assists to bring the Golden State Warriors their 4th Championship in the last eight seasons. He also picked up the NBA Finals MVP for the first time in his career.

It was a tough journey back with injuries derailing the Warriors the last couple of years but they and their organization, never lost sight of the task at hand and stayed on course, rebuilt, regrouped and once healthy, to regained the reins.

This Warriors’ squad was built different but with the right pieces to complement one another. They went through the struggles together and shined bright together picking each other up when needed to celebrating together as a tight squad should.

Them Boys balled out all season in a very competitive league and took out some great teams throughout the Playoffs and silenced the No. 1 defensive team in the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals.

All Championships won have a different meaning to the Champions on that day but having seen what the Warriors have gone through as a squad to get to this point here today, makes this Championship No. 4 SPECIAL!!

Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors for creating a “Dynasty” and emerging as the New NBA Champions of the NBA Season 2022. Well done.

2021 NBA FINALS CHAMPIONS

Giannis Antetokounmpo has finally reached the mountain top of the 2021 NBA Season by closing out game 6 of the NBA Finals with an exceptional “Greek Freak” like performance scoring 50 points, holding down 14 boards and five amazing blocks to bring the Milwaukee Bucks their second NBA Championship since 1971.

I gotta tip my “B” hat to Giannis. The growth he has displayed in his maturity and his game throughout the last three seasons are what Legends are made of. Giannis has already picked up two NBA Seasons MVP honors and a DPOY award in year 2019/2020 and now a 2021 NBA Finals MVP along with the 2021 NBA Finals Championship. Giannis can no longer be disrespected by his peers. He earned his triumph the hard way. These types of personal accolades will separate you from the norm but align you with the only two other Legends to have walked the same path as Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon, who are the only other players to date to have earned all three awards over their astonishing career.

That being said, Giannis couldn’t have completed this obstacle without the Bucks’ squad stepping up. Them Boys came from a 2-0 deficit in the series to clean out the Suns in a tough 4 game sweep to win the Championship on the home court floor. In this series the Bucks’ squad showed they were battled tested and ready to prove it. They were not going to be denied on their big night.

The Suns may have fell short last night but should still keep their heads up high for reaching the Finals with such an inexperienced team. They balled out all season and took out some great teams throughout the Playoffs. They were on the biggest stage doing their thing and deserved to be on that stage. They just happened to meet a team just as determined and driven as them in the Milwaukee Bucks.

Congratulations to the Milwaukee Bucks for emerging as the New NBA Champions of the NBA Season 2021. You Boys battled through some tough series as well while also dealing with some injuries but came out on top of the world.

Respect earned the hard way. Well done.

2020 NBA FINALS CHAMPIONS

The NBA “Bubble” experience is now over. “King James” got to rock the Crown once again and win his 4th NBA Finals MVP award, while leading the Los Angeles Lakers to their 17th NBA Title in franchise history, tying the Boston Celtics for the most in league history.

I gotta tip my “B” hat to “King James”. The man walked it like he talked it. LeBron stayed true to himself and the Lakers organization and put the franchise back in the position where it belongs: at the top of the food chain as the NBA Champions of the year 2020.

We can’t front on Miami. Although the Heat squad fell short last night on the biggest stage, the road to the Finals was educational enough to keep their hunger going for next year. Real Talk! Them Heat Boys balled hard, injured or not, they did their thing inside that “Bubble” and should keep their heads up high. They competed and deserved to be there – they just happened to meet up with a King and his squad that came out early in the game and shut the whole operation down by half time. The Lakers had physically and emotionally destroyed the Miami Heat spirit.

No one man can win an NBA Championship on his own, you need a serious squad to accomplish that from top to bottom and the Lakers crew are proof of that. That said, we can’t ignore LeBron James’ greatness on the biggest stage last night. LeBron finished the night with 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists and an additional MVP award with three Finals separate teams. Another historical moment to be added to his yet to be completed historical career.

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers for conquering the challenges “The Bubble” experience presented. With Kobe Bryant’s death and that of his daughter Gigi last January, Social Injustice to COVID-19 still looming all over the world, this Championship run for the Lakers will forever be remembered as the most memorable one of this organization.

Respect earned to the Baddest Squad.

And The New

Our Team from up North, The Toronto Raptors, has been cementing their names in the History books all season long but last night the Raptors officially stamped and branded themselves by dethroning the three-time Defending Champs Golden State Warriors on their own floor to now being crowned this year’s 2019 NBA Champion. Unbelievable!

The injury depleted Warriors fought hard all series and up until the last minute but ran out of ammunition to the stronger, more determined squad that had this year’s two-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard leading the way. Kawhi played out of his mind and with a chip on his shoulder throughout the Playoffs. Kawhi had something to prove and he wanted to be heard and seen doing it. I tip my “B” to the entire team for playing hard all year long, but truth be told Kawhi was the one missing piece that made this amazing year possible. Kawhi is a game changer who dominated all sides of the game averaging 30.9 points, 9.2 rebounds and 4 assists per game for the Playoff run, and when healthy he proved to be one of the top NBA players in the game today. Real Talk!

24 Years in the making while going through the tough times and the good times, the Toronto Raptors franchise has finally achieved the pinnacle point of being crowned this year’s 2019 NBA Champions. For the first time in NBA History, the Larry O’Bryan Trophy will rest up North in Canada.

Congratulations to our Canadian team the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors had themselves an amazing season, it’s only right that they finished the year crowned “King of the NBA Court 2019”. Respect due to the baddest squad, you Boys have now officially tipped the landscape of the NBA.

BACK 2 BACK

It was written. The Golden State Warriors, in a blowout road win, completely annihilate The Cleveland Cavaliers by finishing them off in a sweep (4-0) to claim their first Back-To-Back Championship!! With this win Golden State join the Bulls, the Lakers the Celtics as the only NBA franchise to win three or more Championships in a four-year period.

Them Warriors came out with a game plan and executed it to a “T”. Real Talk! The “Hampton’s 5” and company were focus, ready and loaded to hand the Cavs their last game of the 2018 NBA Finals. I gotta tip my “B” hat to Cleveland, “King James” and his Cavaliers gave it a good run throughout the NBA Playoffs and the Finals but this Warriors squad was just too much for any team to handle. Real Talk!

The Warriors came into the Playoffs vulnerable but finished the series and the Finals strong and confident like the Champions they knew they were. There are levels to this sh*t and The Warriors are living proof of that.

Bron Bron put up some crazy MVP numbers over the four games with an average of 34 points, 10, assists and 8.5 rebounds but the 2018 Finals MVP was awarded to Kevin Durant for his Back-to-Back Bill Russell Trophy with an average of 28,8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists. He was unquestionably the most consistent player for his team this series.

Personal accolades aside, it takes a serious squad to win an NBA Finals Championship and The Golden State Warriors were just that a cohesive squad with exceptional group of players with one common goal in mind. A Dynasty in the making.

Congratulation Golden State on becoming this Year’s 2018 NBA Champions!! Once again the Larry O’Bryan Trophy will rest in the West.

Redemption is sweet and very rewording for this Golden State Warriors. 16-1 throughout the NBA Finals. Mission accomplished. The Golden State Warriors are now 2 time NBA Champs and the newbie on the Team in Kevin Durant made sure that his addition to the team was going to be worth it all come June. Durant played out of his mind with a determination only he could illuminate.

He definitely proved to all the “naysayers” out there just how valuable he could be come crunch time. Tonight Durant earned his first Larry O’Bryan Trophy and Finals MVP’s Bill Russell Trophy with a humble average of 35.2 points a Game. A feat well deserved. Props still gotta be given to the Defending Champs Cleveland Cavaliers, although the Cavs got done up in 5 Games they put up a hell of a fight REAL TALK!

Lebron pulled off all he could by averaging a Triple –Double throughout the series and Kyrie Irving showed us just how “BAD” this Boy can run circles on that court. The Kid is serious. REAL TALK!

With that being said this Golden State Team played with passion, heart and most of all has a Team. Their level of play throughout the season and the Playoffs showed me just how dominant these kats could be when focus on one common goal. Congratulation Golden State on becoming this Year’s 2017 NBA Champions!
