The Big Three all burst out laughing after hearing that.
Clearly, they all knew Tang Tian was helping them create a talking point for the show.
And the effect really was pretty good.
"All right, I think Kawhi has already matured. By comparison, Antetokounmpo still has quite a lot to work on, so I favor Kawhi more. Although Kawhi has some weaknesses too, they won't affect the final result."
After cracking a joke, Tang Tian also gave his reasoning in all seriousness.
It was a fairly reasonable explanation.
Of course, everyone had different ideas and predictions about the championship.
After Tang Tian, the Big Three also made their own championship predictions.
O'Neal came to the same conclusion as Tang Tian. As a die-hard Tang fan, his position was unwavering—just as unwavering as his belief that even his grandmother could win a championship by following Tang Tian.
Barkley also predicted the Spurs, but his reasoning focused more on the teams' overall strength.
He canceled Leonard and Antetokounmpo out, then simply compared Hayward and Irving, as well as George and Aldridge. He believed the Spurs had the edge.
It was a chess-like method that completely ignored chemistry and performance. It was simplistic, but very Barkley.
And a prediction was a prediction—it was just a guess. If an injury happened, no matter how thorough your analysis was, you still could not predict it accurately.
Only Kenny Smith thought the Bucks had a better chance.
His angle was different from Tang Tian and the other three as well.
He believed the Spurs had expended too much energy fighting their way out of the Western Conference Finals, while the Bucks had developed excellent chemistry this season and held Home Court Advantage in the Finals. That was why he thought the Bucks had the better odds.
