Congratulations has to go to all the players and coaching staff. Sam MacKinnon in particular deserves a wrap in my opinion. When I went and saw Game 1 he spent much of the game defending the much taller Chris Anstey, a big task for anone, but especially for a small forward such as MacKinnon. He was up to the task, and I think the Bullets are lucky to have a player of his class. CJ Bruton also deserve a big wrap. He played the grand final series carrying multiple injuries, but still controlled and drove the game as he saw fit, with the result being a championship for his team.
Yea!
