Orlando Magic general manager John Hammond probably has some odd feelings when it comes to the Milwaukee Bucks and the title they just won.
In many respects, he was the architect of that title team. He was the one who took the risk and drafted a scrawny 18-year-old from Greece’s second division league. Hammond has been on several podcasts talking about what he saw in this raw forward that was all appendages.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (if you did not know who that was referring to) thanked John Hammond by name with the Larry O’Brien Trophy on one side and the Bill Russell Finals MVP on the other side of him.
