The Milwaukee Bucks are the NBA champions after disposing of the Phoenix Suns in six games.

The Bucks sealed the victory on July 20, defeating the Suns 105-98. It was the fourth victory in a row for the Bucks after finding themselves in a two-game hole to start the series.

It’s also the first Bucks championship in 50 years, when they disposed of the Baltimore Bullets 4-0 led by a young Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Gov. Tony Evers attended the Bucks championship parade and tweeted that he was proud of the squad’s ability to grow into champions over the years.

“I was excited to be in Milwaukee yesterday for the parade,” he said. “It's been a lot of fun watching this team and these players grow up and grow together into the championship-caliber team they are today.”

Evers added that the prophecy had been “fulfilled.”

“We are so proud of our @Bucks, so I proclaimed today #BucksInSix Day across the state as we celebrate the Bucks team and organization, their incredible season, and this historic win,” he tweeted.

Two-time league MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo, added more hardware to his impressive resume as he took home NBA Finals MVP honors while scoring 50 points in the game-clinching win.

Antetokounmpo was even able to have a little fun at his expense when he told The New York Times that his poor free-throw shooting percentage wasn’t going to derail him from achieving his dreams of a championship.

“Don’t let nobody tell you what you can’t be or what you cannot do,” Antetokounmpo said. “People told me I can’t make free throws. I made my free throws tonight. And I’m a freaking champion.”
