Scrolled a little bit down his tl and found him tweeting out a Jason Whitlock article (LOL) from The Blaze (LOL) about how he has permission from God to watch Black Lives Matter-tainted NBA Finals because Monty Williams and Chris Paul are Christians. The **** depths of these peoples' self-inflicted misery, I swear.

Just wondering who will receive a ring for this championship win. I assume DJ Wilson, DJ Augustine and Torrie Craig will receive a ring. I'm actually happy for DJ Wilson because he was part of the team for a few years and even had a good run during his second year.

Does Kurucs get a ring? How about some of the pre season signings like Nik Stauskas?

I really hope that Larry Sanders doesn't get a ring just because he's still on the payroll.

Finally, I really hope that Brandon Jennings gets an honorary ring for A.) being flashy enough to net us Middleton and B.) for his "Bucks in 6" oracle prediction.

I believe it’s entirely up to the team. Most usually do for anyone on the team during the regular season. Both DJs are locks to get one. Craig probably is too although from what we’ve heard about him complaining about his role, I wouldn’t give him one. Kurucs unfortunately probably gets one.

I doubt preseason guys get one.

Larry, no chance, lol.

Jennings probably doesn’t get an official one but they probably send him an honorary replica and fly him in to be in the crowd for the banner raising. (Is that going to be opening night?)

The thing I like most about Giannis is that he'll be even hungrier for a second title, now that he's tasted what it's like to win one. He's similar to Jordan or Kobe where he'll work even harder next year to keep this hunger alive.

Thanks for the input.

On a side note, Austin Rivers is probably cursing Jeff Teague for signing with the Bucks before him.

Just coming from my own limited perspective, I can't understand why anybody who wasn't on the team at the start of the playoffs would *want* a ring. D-D-D-DJ Wilson (air horn) was at least around for the last two runs. Kurucs? Come on. Craig would want a ring for *losing* the Finals? I hope he's got more pride than that.

Torrey getting one would be a shame all around. He came here for a cup of coffee, took his pay checks and mailed it in to try and stick in the league. No reason for our owners, despite their wealth, to reward the guy for existing in a Bucks uniform.

I was a casual fan until 01 or 02. Then I became a diehard. I thought every draft pick or every free agent could be “the one”. Yi, Bogut, Jennings, hell I got excited about David Noel and Jody Meeks. RJeff, Steven Jackson, Magloire, Charlie V… I could go on. Then Giannis showed up. Dude got better EVERY season. It’s surreal. We went from being a joke to multiple contending years. I always knew we’d get to the mountain top eventually. Here we are. Soak it up.

Also, I hope PJ made it home ok. He fits right in in this city. We gotta keep this team together and he seems like a solid dude.

Interesting plus/minus stats. Jrue's defense cannot be overstated.

And Durant's name is not on the list. It's obviously not a definitive stat, but given Jrue is so far out in first place, there is only one reason that could happen.

Watched a cut up of all his steals last night. Would estimate 3/4 of them were plays where he walled off and took contact to the sternum, and it jarred the ball loose while barely affecting him.

He had some harsh shooting nights but imitated a point guard more than adequately while defending anyone at any time, often when they least expected it. The Suns avoided him like he was prime Darrell Revis.

Simmons +/- really good. Someone is going to get a bargain this off-season if they play their cards right.

Which brings me back to my original point: THE BUCKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS!

Still too soon I imagine. We didn't even get the all access video of the game 6 from the official youtube channel of the Bucks yet.
