NBA Finals the 8th Seed Chicago Bulls vs 3rd Seed Phoenix Suns (Westbrook vs Durant)

Bulls KO the Suns in 6 games winning at home in chicago for the first time since Michael Jordan. Russell Westbrook wins the FMVP award putting up a 31-13-12 triple double stats line on 58/44/80 shooting splits in the finals he becomes a sniper from three and dominates the glass. Westbrook gets a poster dunk on Durant that will be remembered forever as it caps off a 50 point game 6 to close out the Suns. Chicago is calling Westbrook the new Michael jordan and the new GOAT over LeBron James. The media ties to argue LeBron is still more accomplished and better but Chicago won't listen to the nonsense and they have CROWNED Russ the New KING of the NBA and Jordan says Westbrook is the new GOAT.
