Former UConn star gives hilarious answer to question about next NBA Finals

Will a former UConn Huskies player win an NBA championship in 2025?

UConn currently has nine former players on the NBA roster, so there’s not a bad chance. Andre Drummond of the Philadelphia 76ers or Andre Jackson Jr. of the Milwaukee Bucks probably have the highest odds among the nine.

The reigning NBA champion Boston Celtics have no UConn players on their roster, which feels wrong.

However, the Celtics will not repeat themselves, at least according to former Huskies guard and two-time national champion Shabazz Napier, who was asked a question in a recent interview about who will win the 2025 NBA Finals.

Napier apparently doesn’t believe that any of the NBA’s 30 teams will win a ring in 2025, but rather that the UConn Huskies will somehow win the NBA championship.

Napier gave his humorous response as part of a media feature for Bayern Munich, Napier’s current professional team, which he joined this season. Napier has put in excellent performances with Bayern Munich so far this year, recently dropping 25 points in a crucial win against Paris.

The 2024-25 UConn Huskies will definitely not participate in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, which could disappoint Napier.
