Good morning, BBN!
The NBA Finals tip off tonight, and like many Finals in the past, this one has plenty of former Cats looking to get a ring.

New York Knicks: Karl-Anthony Towns
Obviously, SGA has been showing out for UK, coming off a championship last year and back-to-back MVP awards.
This year, there will be at least one Cat who wins their first ring.
Fox has been harboring an ankle injury, but he played a huge part in getting the Spurs past the Thunder in Game 7, while Keldon Johnson also had a big game to help the Spurs advance. They scored 15 points and 11 points, respectively.
Meanwhile, KAT has been elite for the Knicks this postseason, averaging 16.9 PPG, 10.6 RPG, and 5.9 APG on 57.2FG%/48.93P%. He’s a big reason the Knicks are there and have been dominating this postseason.
It should be a fun series! Which Cat will get their first ring?

For all the basketball nerds out there, Milan is an elite shooter, everywhere.
