The Milwaukee Bucks are officially NBA champions after an all-time great performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo. He and the Bucks silenced all of their haters on their way to a title.
They’d better celebrate this while they can, though. There’s not too much time before they have to do this all over again.
If you already miss NBA basketball, don’t worry. Next season is right around the corner — literally.
The NBA is slated to get back to their regular schedule after having two straight seasons shifted because of COVID-19. After a delayed start to this season in December, the league will be back into the regular swing of things this September, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Sheesh, man. That’s quick. We saw how that worked out for the teams in the Conference Finals last season. The Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets all had significant injury issues this season.
Hopefully, things turn out better for Bucks fans at the start of next season. Regardless, it’s time to celebrate their title.
They can worry about next season when it gets here.
