Giannis not selected for mobile game again
Giannis Antetokounmpo, aka the Greek Freak, finds himself in the midst of multiple top-tier teams gunning for his Milwaukee Bucks. But in a recent media interview, he made it clear he's not daydreaming about hopping ship anytime soon.
When asked about potential opponents for the NBA Finals in 2024-25, he noted, "Two great teams made it there." He continued, "The Finals are something else, I hope to be back soon with the Bucks."
Now, let's take a sneak peek at the two teams likely to face off against the Bucks — the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Pacers have been struggling in the playoffs, going toe-to-toe with the New York Knicks. Despite the odds being stacked against them, the Pacers have shown some grit and determination, making you question their underdog status. Unfortunately, their chances of taking home the NBA Championship still appear slim, with bookmakers putting them at 25-1 to win it all[4].
On the other hand, the Thunder have been catching everyone off guard with their impressive season performance. Even NFL insider Adam Schefter has hyped them up, predicting a potential NBA championship win[5]. With odds of +200, the Thunder are betting favorites to bring home the trophy in 2025-26, suggesting they stand a strong chance to clinch the title[4].
All things considered, while a showdown between the Bucks and the Pacers can't be ruled out, the Thunder appear more likely opponents, given their current momentum and odds. Keep in mind, the Bucks still need to battle their way through the playoffs, and Antetokounmpo's long-term plans with the team remain uncertain[2]. So buckle up, basketball fans, it's going to be a wild ride!
