Jae Crowder and Anthony Davis are no strangers to facing one another in a playoff series. The two have faced off last season in the Finals, during Crowder’s time with the Miami Heat. The Los Angeles Lakers ended up beating Crowder and the Heat, earning them their first ring since the Kobe Bryant era.
There have been many debates on how to rank the ring from last year’s NBA season, as it was in the bubble. Some people don’t view it as equal to other rings when the atmosphere is charged with fans. Jae Crowder seems to doubt the validity of last season’s ring, as he liked a Tweet suggesting that Davis’ ring is fake.
There is no question that last year’s circumstances were different compared to a regular season. The lack of fans certainly provided a different setting. However, that shouldn’t take away from the fact that the Miami Heat had a spectacular playoffs that year, and even upset MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and his Milwaukee Bucks.
The Miami Heat have a tough fight ahead of them, as they are currently down 0-2 to the Milwaukee Bucks. However, they will be playing their next two games at home, giving them a chance to climb out of their deficit.
