A few days ago, Kendall, the girlfriend of Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker, Jenna posted a photo of her bathrobe. What many fans did not expect was that the usually serious Chris Paul also did not shy away from praising his “younger siblings”, perhaps because for his teammate Booker and the Suns, Jenna can really be regarded as a “lucky star”.
On July 7, the first game of the NBA Finals will begin, according to the probability of winning the championship announced by the well-known American data website “FiveThirtyEight”, the Suns beat 40% of the Bucks with 60%, and the injury of the Bucks star “Alphabet Brother” Antetokounmpo will be an uncertain factor affecting the outcome of the championship. But for that, Suns head coach Monty Williams said the Suns will prepare for the “alphabet brother” game. At the same time, he also stressed that whether the “alphabet brother” appears or not, the Bucks’ impact on the inside in recent games has been very fierce. Lopez and Joe Holladay are two players who also need to be careful with the Suns.
After 28 years, the Suns finally “rose” again and reached the NBA Finals. However, it should be noted that the Suns have averaged only 30.2% win rate over the past five seasons, which is the lowest win rate in the first five seasons of teams that reached the Finals in the four major professional leagues in North America, the NFL, NHL and MLB. Last season, however, the Suns have picked up momentum and their winning percentage has improved to 45 percent. This season, with the addition of Paul, the Suns have regained their shine. Now, they are just one step away from a championship, and it will be up to the Suns to seize the opportunity of the possible injury of Bucks star “Alphabet Brother” and lift the O’Brien Cup again.
It is worth mentioning that according to US media reports, no matter who the Suns and Bucks eventually wins the championship, it will be the 6th championship team in NBA history that does not pay a luxury tax that season. The Bucks’ total salary this season is $132 million, just stuck in the luxury tax line, while the Suns’ total salary this season is $127 million, which is still $5 million away from the luxury tax line, and since the birth of the NBA luxury tax system, only 5 teams have finally won the championship without paying the luxury tax in a single season, they are the Heat in 2006, the Spurs in 2014, the Warriors in 2015 and 2017, and the Lakers in 2020.
