NBA GM Survey: Which team will be the championship winners?
According to the NBA App Survey, the NBA’s decision-makers voted forthe Milwaukee Bucks of Giannis Antetokounmpo to be the 2022-2023 NBA Champions. However, the survey showed that the Golden State Warriors, the Boston Celtics, and the Los Angeles Clipperswere also voted in this category. Also, according to the survey, the Bucks didn’t get at least 50% of the voting, so it isn’t a unanimous claim.
In other categories, the Bucks were clearly the favorites to win the Eastern Conference, while the Warriors and the Clippers tied to be the Western Conference Champions. Also, Luka Doncic of the Dallas Maverickswith Giannis Antetokounmpo were top-placed in voting forthe MVP award for this season. Behind them were Joel Embiid, a two-time runner-up, and Stephen Curry, a two-time winner.
Also, not a single vote was for the Los Angeles Lakers to be at least top 3 in the West, but there were 10% of the GM’s who voted that the LA franchise will finish four-seeded. As well as the runners-up for the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat didn’t get any vote for the top-seeded, but 10% said they will end up in second place.
