Did U see the post game? Clearly no, cuz both Jalen Williams & SGA were literally making fun of this competition & the “prize money” the stars don’t care, yes those guys making 2mil R but they barely play enough to affect the game. Stop acting like the nba cares about its spare players they don’t
Champs once again!!!! Let’s gooooo! Cup Title Winners, this is huge! Love getting Giannis those ships! 🏆 The best of the best @themilwaukeebucks.bsky.social
On the one hand, the NBA Cup is made up and fairly meaningless. On the other hand, it serves as an important reminder that all sports championships are made up, mostly for entertainment purposes, and sometimes we take them too seriously.
At least the Grey Cup makes sense. 🏆. It’s awarded to the CFL Champs in a year and is the oldest professional sports trophy in Canada. What the hell is the NBA Cup, awarded before the middle of the season? 🤨
European Soccer does tournaments in the middle of the season so the NBA is trying it and they’ve been getting the media to pretend that the fans actually care. Nobody really gives a shit though. I don’t even think the players actually care.
Seriously though--does anyone even care about this weird tournament? I don't understand the point of a "fake" championship mixed into a season with a real one. It's just strange.
You convinced me. I'm on board. They should also make a Play-Out tourney for the worst teams in the league and the team that wins that one has to play the #1 team in the league. Then, they lose again and become Champions of Futility.
The Milwaukee Bucks won the second NBA Cup in history on Tuesday, putting an exclamation point on their remarkable comeback from a terrible start to the season with a dominant performance by one of the greatest to ever play.
It is just a rebrand of their drug testing protocol, short for specimen cup. Team with the cleanest pee wins the Golden Specimen Cup. Just don’t drink from it.
It’s not extra games bud, just regular season games dressed up as something more important
Only tonight’s “cup final” was an extra game of the regular season for these two teams
The Cup is inoffensive at best. You're almost guaranteed players are not going to be out because of load management, so that's cool. But it also doesn't really matter in the long run.
Congratulations to the Milwaukee Bucks for becoming the NBA Cup Champions for the first time in the Cup's short history. Joining the LA Lakers to have won the In Season Tournament. #NBACup

Giannis is your easy MVP front runner. Y’all jealous
Will the Bucks hang a banner and is there a parade?

Good dad
Not too humble
It’s meaningless.
The hustle on the court though!
What is and who the fuck okay'd a "NBA Cup"
Do your finals like a normal sport and be good with it, no other sport has a mid season champion, you don't raise a banner at half time
