One ESPN NBA analyst picks Warriors to beat Clippers in West finals

Share

If you're a Warriors fan and don't love NBA analyst Kirk Goldsberry, that's about to change.

On Tuesday morning, ESPN released predictions for the 2019-20 season, and Mr. Goldsberry is the only staffer picking the Warriors to advance to the NBA Finals.

The former VP of strategic research for the San Antonio Spurs has Golden State defeating the LA Clippers in the Western Conference finals.

So, Goldsberry must have the Warriors winning the title, right? Wrong. He picked the Milwaukee Bucks to bring home the hardware.

At the very least, Goldsberry had to have picked Steph Curry to win MVP, or Draymond to be Defensive Player of the Year, or Steve Kerr as Coach of the Year, right?

Nope, nope and nope again.

Goldsberry chose Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo as MVP, Utah's Rudy Gobert as DPOY and Miami's Erik Spolestra as the top coach.

Quick tangent: If you haven't read Goldsberry's book "Sprawlball," go get yourself a copy. It's fantastic.
