The Brooklyn Nets may be the favorite to win this year’s NBA championship, as they have Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Kevin Durant all on the same team. While there is no question that those names offer extreme offensive firepower, the Milwaukee Bucks aren’t lacking on All-Star caliber players. Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo are no pushovers and the Milwaukee Bucks are tough on both ends. It is definitely shaping up to be an exciting series.

A faceoff between Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to be one of the highlights of this series. This is a series that will leave one championship-caliber roster out of the hunt, and it is highly anticipated by most NBA fans.
