I was pulling for the Suns, cause while kind of dirty, I've always liked CP3, but no issue at all with Giannis getting one. Dude should be the posterchild of what makes a great talent. Didn't have to go join 2 other hall of famers to get a cheap ring or two. Nope, stayed in his small market and was a true leader. Hoping my boys Tatum and Brown can take that next step in leadership and give him a run next season (We won't....).
I am a Laker fan... but I get this, I agree. I don't care much about "small markets" but it's definitely a nice change from "superteams", aka superstars joining up through either free agency or forcing trades, being always involved and very often winning recent finals. Now, if said "superteams" were healthy this season neither the Bucks nor the Suns would have been in the finals, IMO, but that's ok. As I said that's not their fault and injuries happen. Bven for me, whose team frankly
could have won this title if they were healthy, it's still refreshing to see.
Also impossible to deny that part of that satisfaction is the fact that the Nets, Clippers, Celts (not that they were a legit threat) didn't get there, and that CP3 didn't end up winning. I don't hate CP3 but I cannot really be happy for former Clippers' success, especially considering the circumstances that saw him playing for the Clips.
