Inside the NBA just had Shaq, Chuck, and EJ having the Bucks win and Kenny has the Suns.
I'm wondering if Barkley and Shaq both have sour grapes from both being in the Suns and not able to win it all. Both have huge egos that can't handle someone else able to do it when neither of them could.
Kenny had the best argument the Suns don't make mistakes and you'll have to beat them and he didn't think the Bucks can do it.
Shaq will never forgive Steve Nash for winning back-to-back MVPs. He thinks he was slighted.
He probably was. Love Nash, he was never more valuable than Shaq.
We'll agree to disagree. Define valuable.

I saw that segment on Inside. 3/4 of them pick the Bucks, but then they can't articulate any real reason why. We also don't know whether Giannis will play or what kind of shape he'll be in if he does. And the Bucks had a hard time beating the Hawks with no Trae for most of the series and barely beat the Nets with 2/3 of their Big 3 playing. Ridiculous for 3/4 of the Inside crew to pick the Bucks.

NBA FINALS III
Revenge of the Coin Flip
Except there will be no coin flip…just revenge.
Yep, we don't have to rely on a coin flip this time. Just go out and beat them!

Barkley said he picks the Bucks on the condition that Giannis is at least 80(?)% healthy.

I saw a funny reddit post pointing out that both of these teams had Eric Bledsoe, got rid of him, and are now going to the Finals.

AKA "Mini Lebron" I never understood that comparison.

Kenny was the only one with a reason. He’s always been the smart one.

The Suns don’t make mistakes. They’re not going to beat themselves. In order to beat them, you have to beat them. Or something to that effect.
