I find the upcoming NBA Finals matchup refreshing in that it pits two almost entirely homegrown rosters against each other. Representing the Western Conference for the Golden State Warriors are familiar faces in Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney. And while Andrew Wiggins and Otto Porter Jr., are external additions offering elite wing depth, Jonathan Kuminga and Jordan Poole - the newest Splash Brother - are recent Warriors draft picks.
Similar story for the Eastern Conference representative, the Boston Celtics: Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart finally reach the big dance after years of battles and seeing their names in trade rumors.
