NBA legend Blake Griffin recently talked about the NBA championship situation next season in an interview, and believed that the New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets will have a greater chance of reaching the finals.
In the 2024/25 NBA Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers 103-91 in a crucial seventh-round game to secure the championship. However, with teams strengthening their rosters this summer, the Oklahoma City Thunder will face significant challenges in their title defense.
Blake Griffin, who has been selected to the NBA All-Star team six times in his career, said on a show, "I think the Denver Nuggets have become stronger this summer. They dragged the Oklahoma City Thunder into a Game 7 last season, and I think the Denver Nuggets will represent the Western Conference in the finals."
"As for the Eastern Conference, I think it will be the New York Knicks or the Cleveland Cavaliers. I'm going with the New York Knicks. Maybe they can learn from their past mistakes and make some adjustments."
In addition, Blake Griffin also said, "However, I really admire the Cleveland Cavaliers, otherwise it would be difficult not to choose them. In fact, it is common for people to start picking on a team and thinking they are not ready after seeing them lose a game they shouldn't lose, but this is also normal."
"But I don't agree with the idea of tearing it down and rebuilding. They just need to find something different and then stick with it. So, my prediction in the finals will be the New York Knicks against the Denver Nuggets."
