To borrow the words of Apollo Creed in the original Rocky movie, “Sounds like a damn monster movie!”
Tonight’s matchup, and regular season finale, between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks, is a doozy. It features two of the best young players in the NBA: Ben Simmons, the 6-10 Australian prodigy who’s passing wizardry hasn’t been seen in a point guard of his size since the days of Magic Johnson, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the 6-11 Greek ‘Freak’ who plays forward but handles the ball like a highly skilled wingman and is an electrifying scorer.
