Not a single player on the Phoenix Suns or Milwaukee Bucks has ever won an NBA championship. It’s been a long time coming for players like Chris Paul, Jrue Holiday, P.J. Tucker and Brook Lopez, who have waited more than 10 years to get to this point. It’s taken former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton a couple of seasons to back his top draft status, but in Game 1 he was the best big on the floor.
Both teams took different paths to get to the NBA Finals.
