The NBA Finals between the Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks have been absolutely thrilling, surprisingly. With no big market teams, and after the expectation that the NBA Finals were going to include the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets, a lot of people were disappointed. However, thus far the games have been fantastic.
Well, for most people. For Nets star Kevin Durant, he doesn't seem too thrilled at the current NBA Finals slate. Durant was back on the world of social media and responded to a post saying Bucks-Suns is the best Finals since 2016.
It is safe to say Durant wasn't too pleased.

Durant shamelessly picked the 2017 NBA Finals, or is he just trolling?
The Nets star was on the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and the Dubs topped LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games as Durant and company took home the Larry O'Brien trophy.
Perhaps Durant is upset that the Nets got ousted by the same Bucks team that now sit just one game away from an NBA title. After the Nets acquired James Harden, it was widely regarded that Brooklyn would take home the title. Unfortunately, injuries to Harden and Kyrie Irving proved too costly for them.
As everybody knows by now, Durant has been extremely vocal on social media, especially since the Nets lost in Game 7 against the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Either way, Durant is back with another response. While the 2017 NBA Finals was a good one, the Bucks-Suns has lived up– and exceeded– the hype.
