Social media reaction to Bucks win Eastern Conference, punching ticket to NBA Finals
The Milwaukee Bucks are headed to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1974. They got there with a 118-107 win over Atlanta in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday night.
As you’d imagine, social media was on fire as the Bucks won the East for the first time ever and punched their ticket to the finals.
Here’s some of the best reaction from some familiar names and some not so familiar:

I would once again like to thank Kevin Durant's abnormally large foot for stepping on the 3pt line in game 7 to help the Bucks win

The Milwaukee Bucks won two Eastern Conference Finals games without Giannis Antetokounmpo. Imagine hearing that at the beginning of the year.

Jeff Teague had 11. The Bucks won by 11. Coincidence? I think not

Thanasis Antetokounmpo has made the finals before James harden

Brandon Jennings first said βBucks In Sixβ back in 2013.
Since he uttered such a phrase, the Bucks have failed to win a series in six games. Hasnβt been done once since he said it.
That is, until tonight – when the Milwaukee Bucks reached the NBA Finals. #BucksInSix

As the prophet foretoldβ¦
Bucks in 6.
Congrats to them. Enjoy this, Bucks fans.

So, the time the #Bucks actually do win a series in 6, it brings them to their first NBA Finals in 47 years.
Thatβs βThe Prince that was promisedβ prophecy come to life, if Iβve ever heard it.
Brandon Jennings was Milwaukeeβs Melisandre. He was rightβ¦just in 2021, not 2013.
