NBA: The Finals 2021
Suns are up 2-0, Game 3 on Sunday. Everyone loves the little guy that could.
The Phoenix Suns held a 2-0 series lead, with Game 3 scheduled for Sunday. Everyone loves the little guy that could — this appears to be the year for small market teams to have their moment on the big stage.
Chris Paul's Championship Opportunity
Chris Paul could secure his first NBA title, potentially elevating him among the greatest point guards ever — in the conversation with Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Oscar Robertson, and Steph Curry.
Giannis Antetokounmpo
The two-time MVP and potentially the league's best player appeared determined to add a championship to his resume.
Championship Droughts
Only 9 of 30 NBA teams have won championships. Milwaukee last won in 1971 during Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's era — a 50-year drought. The Suns had never captured a title.
Devin Booker
High media profile aside, Booker's legitimate scoring talents and improved team chemistry made him a key factor in the Suns' championship run.
