Five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant congratulated Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo and Toronto Raptors' Kawhi Leonard for their successful playoff runs so far, and he's expecting both players to put on a show in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Both Antetokounmpo and Leonard worked with Bryant last summer to help improve their game. In return, both players helped the Black Mamba teach and train young girls how to play basketball.
Just like Bryant, a lot of fans are excited to see Leonard and Antetokounmpo collide in the ECF. The Bucks made quick work of their opponents in the first two rounds of the playoffs, sweeping the Detroit Pistons and then beating the Boston Celtics in five games. It is safe to say that they have yet to be challenged in these playoffs.
Well, that challenge could come from the Raptors, who remain as one of the best teams in the East despite struggling to beat the Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers respectively. They are filled with veterans who have a ton of playoff and championship experience, and that could work in their advantage. The Bucks and Raptors own the first and second best record in the East, but they're also pretty good road teams as well. Milwaukee may have the home court advantage, but that might not be that big of a factor in this series.
Game 1 of the East Finals will take place on Wednesday in Toronto.
