Former NBA star Ian Mahinmi, who won the 2011 Championship with the Dallas Mavericks, has tipped the Milwaukee Bucks to defend their title this year, even ahead of a 'young' Mavs side.
Mahinmi, who was a guest at the Basketball Africa League [BAL] launch of the refurbished Tersana Sports Club basketball court in Cairo, felt that the Bucks, who lead the Bulls 1-0 in the Playoffs, were peaking at the right time.
"Obviously, it's really hard to go against the champs, especially when I feel that the Bucks have gotten better over the summer," Mahinmi told ESPN.
