Bucks forward Portis was a guest on the "Run It Back" program, and during this time they talked about their defeat of the Thunder, who is currently in the finals in the NBA Cup finals.

"We each defeated the Hawks and Rockets and entered the NBA Cup finals. I said in the team group chat that kicking these little Babys out and kicking these little kids out. We are adults, they are kids. This is a single-elimination game. These little kids can't beat us in this game. I think this game makes them better. Did they have an 8-10-game winning streak? The atmosphere is very good now, and it's difficult to unite 15 adults with different goals, but they have a perfect team." Portis said.

The average age of this Thunder team is 25.6 years old, the second youngest team to enter the finals in the past 70 years, and the first is the Trail Blazers at 25.05 in the 1976-77 season.
