It is too early to tell which teams are likely to face off in the 2026 edition of the NBA Finals, butformer Milwaukee Bucks sharpshooter Michael Redd is fine seeing one particular matchup in June.
After watching the San Antonio Spurs and theDetroit Pistons go at it on Monday at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan, Redd said that he’s fine seeing those two teams meet in the grandest stage of NBA basketball.
“I would be more than OK with a Detroit Pistons / San Antonio Spurs finals. Gives me deja vu and brings me back to my playing days, when those two teams were built…sorta like these ones are. Guard play, bigs. Skill, aggression. Offense and defense. Love it!”wrotethe former NBA All-Star in a social media post on X (formerly Twitter).
