From Brandon Jennings legendary "Bucks in 6" moment in 2013, to Giannis' postgame conference after winning the championship, this is the journey of a champion. Giannis is an athlete like no other which makes his story all the more unique and inspiring. Hats off to the Bucks for winning their first championship in 50 years!! Nothing but love, respect and appreciation for the Greek Freak

The NBA Finals are finally here and I'm SO EXCITED. The Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks are both teams that are super easy to root for.

On today's episode, I chat with our mystery guest Makesh! He's my lil cousin and knows way more about hoops than I did at his age. Along with some surprise trivia and trick questions, I ask him about his favourite player, which star players he'd want on his team, his MVP pick and who he thinks will win it all in this year's playoffs.
