Which star are you rooting for to get their first championship if you aren’t a fan of any of these teams?

Indiana-Tyrese Haliburton
Minnesota-Anthony Edwards
New York-Jalen Brunson
Oklahoma City-Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Minnesota has nothing going for it as a city from a meta sense, so it would be awesome for those people to get a W.

JB seems like a genuinely good dude.

I like all the remaining teams.

OKC: I like SGA because he's Canadian. I like that they're a young team built through the draft. I like that they're a tiny market.

Indy: I'd love for Siakam to win another title. Hali has really grown on me in these playoffs. They have multiple Canadians on the roster as well. They're a really fun team to watch. And they're another small market team.

Minny: I like Ant as a player and a personality. I'm happy that Randle has played well in these playoffs. I also like that they're another undesirable market.

NYK: I categorically don't like New York sports because of division rivalries, but I don't have an issue with any players on their roster (and I would love to see OG win a title, and not as a spectator this time).

Brunson
ANT/Randle
Shai
Hali

Just like Oklahoma and Indianapolis, right?

Has to be New York

Minnesota is a state.

I think of those remaining, I'm rooting for Brunson. Would love for Hali to get one also, though.

Haliburton, because it's the one the league would like the least

Ant. He's a great kid

For real, Minneapolis is 10x better than either of those cities. Better women, food, nature, everything

SGA is winning it. That's all that matters.

The Knicks are the local team for me so I'm pulling for Brunson.

It's kind of fun to get new teams in the mix every year though.

You've obviously never been to Minneapolis. You don't even have to worry about the cold weather there because of their skyway system, it's actually a pretty neat city

SGA. Canada represent!!

I like them all. I don't think I even rank it. Lots of new blood going to the finals.

I'm fine with all except what the Haliburton.. Indiana fans are despicable as we've seen after the Buckets/ Pacers series.

Minnesota.

I want my hometown (NYC) to get a ring, but goddamn are Knicks fans making this hard with their obnoxiousness. The schadenfreude almost wants them to make it to Game 7 in either round and then lose. Still, I'd like to see the Knicks win because all the KAT slander would stop once and for all. I feel the same for Julius Randle/Rudy Gobert (yes, I am partial to the bigs).

It would be awesome for Indiana to join San Antonio and Denver as the third ABA team to win a ring as well (only the Nets would be without). As for OKC, they built their team with excellent scouting and savvy trades. Great organization.

I wanted Curry/Butler/Draymond and Lebron out as soon as possible. Other than that, I had no one else to root against.
