If history teaches us anything, it’s that the contenders are either the Los Angeles Lakers (Bron’s Last Ride), the 1980β81 Boston Celtics (Null), or the Houston Rockets (KD’s Time to Rise). Following that, we have the 1981β82 Los Angeles Lakers (Continue Excellence without Bron?!) and finally the 1982β83 Philadelphia 76ers (Null) or the Los Angeles Lakers (Laughing). However, my top picks for the championship are the NBA’s New York Knicks (Before the world ends) and the Oklahoma City Thunder (continues young competitive excellency).

Warriors wouldβve gone to the conference finals with a healthy curry this year. If anything theyβre closer to winning another ring

Everyone hates to admit it , but Houston was the best move for KD. They have to keep it interesting but we all know this was the best move for KD . He really might get another championship. Not sure , but really good chance.

Cmon now nobody cares that much about those old superstars anymore. The league is led by young stars and we should just start appreciating their games. Stop putting the spotlight on the OGs their era is over.
