Milwaukee Bucks legend and NBA champion Kareem Abdul-Jabbar believes Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. are figuring it out in the NBA Finals, which should spell trouble for Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns.
Speaking on The Jump, Abdul-Jabbar discussed the importance of Milwaukee's Game 3 win to their chances of lifting the Larry O'Brien trophy for the first time since 1971. For KAJ, it's exactly what the team needed to get their act together and start making things work better.
Of course that still depends if they can maintain that level of play, but the NBA icon is confident the Bucks can.
“The Bucks are looking very good. They have figured it out a little bit and that's all they needed to do to make this work together smoothly. If they continue to do this, they'll win in 6,” Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said.
The Cream City squad dominated Game 3, 120-100, behind Giannis Antetokounmpo's 41 points, 13 rebounds and six assists. They put the Suns in foul trouble and punished them for being unable to stop the Greek Freak down low.
Simply put, Chris Paul and Phoenix had no answer for Giannis, and if it stays the same throughout the series, then Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's prediction might just come to reality.
However, the Bucks can't be too complacent and overconfident as well. After all, the Suns have been tried and tested in the Western Conference, something that has strengthened their mental resilience. If anything, CP3, Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and Phoenix won't be easy to discourage and put down.
