To that, Kuzma kept it real and replied with just the ?100? emoji. However, the fact that the former NBA champion did not say anything to justify the other teams was a bit daunting.

Then come the Milwaukee Bucks that were led by a historic run by none other than Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak led the team to its second NBA championship after a long wait of 50 years.
