The Basketball League is coming to an end in America, so focus on the NBA Finals at Pilgrim Nation, then move on to Major League Baseball that just started, and then end up on the ice. Bart Jan Westerdoin and Paco Bustieros Leon discuss the sporting situation in the United States.
This year, the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors will compete for the title in the NBA Finals. A surprising final, as both teams were definitely not favourites. The Celtics fought their way through the playoffs with two of seven games. In doing so, they eliminated the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks. The Warriors were comparatively easier in the series, in the fact that they required slightly fewer games to reach the final.
What is remarkable about both teams is that they are a good mix of young and old and not an excellent team. Baku and Bart Gunn predicted the Golden State Warriors would win the title in six matches.
After the classic (Hip Hop Hooray – Naughty by Nature), attention has turned to Major League Baseball. The first two months of the season are over. Who are the good and the bad and how do the Dutch do it. Jurickson Profar is currently playing his best season with the San Diego Padres. Here he shows great, good and strong field moves at bat and he is on the starting line in every match. Kenley Janssen remains undefeated with his team approaching the Atlanta Braves also well into the competition.
In the second half of the Pilgrim Nation it was turned onto the ice, because the NHL playoffs also started. The history and history of the four teams in the semi-finals were discussed. With attention also to the logos, which are among the most beautiful logos in professional sports, according to the presenters. So is the NHL Winterclassic, the outdoor game played every year.
The last broadcast of the Hajj season is on Wednesday, June 29th.
