For the first time since 2004, a former Arkansas basketball player is an NBA champion.
On their home floor, the Milwaukee Bucks put the finishing touches on the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, winning Game 6 of the NBA Finals 105-98 to capture their first championship in 50 years.
Bobby Portis, a two-year standout for the Razorbacks and a catalyst off the bench for the Bucks throughout this season, starred in his role in the series-clinching win. He finished with a series-high 16 points on an efficient 6 of 10 from the floor and 2 of 5 from three-point range.
