The long wait is finally over for Chris Paul, plus the Lightning continue to look unstoppable against Habs

Greeting sports fans, it's Chris Bengel coming at you once again on this Thursday morning. I hope everybody is looking forward to 4th of July weekend with lots of sports action on the menu, which is something that we couldn't say a year ago.

I've spoken about the parity in the NBA playoffs this season in the past, but something just hit me. We could have an NBA Finals with two teams that didn't even make the postseason one year ago in the bubble. The Phoenix Suns clinched their spot in the NBA Finals with their victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Additionally, the Atlanta Hawks currently lead the Milwaukee Bucks 2-1, and no one knows if Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will return in this series after hyperextending his knee. It's definitely fun to have teams in the NBA Finals that we haven't seen there in quite some time.
