For Wisconsin fans, the story of the NBA Finals up to this point is probably two disappointing performances by the Milwaukee Bucks and the importance of Game 3 in Milwaukee.
But for Badger fans who don’t have a rooting interest in the series, the fun has come from watching Wisconsin legend Frank Kaminsky become the first former Badger to play in the NBA finals since Michael Finley in 2007.
Kaminsky hasn’t done much in the series, playing just five total minutes and not recording a statistic. As I laid out a few days ago, however, an injury to Dario Saric may bring more minutes to the former Badger as the series continues.

Aside from his minutes situation, Kaminsky spoke before the Suns’ Game 2 victory about his journey from the Kohl Center to the NBA Finals.
From one Badger to another, I asked @FSKPart3 about the journey from @BadgerMBB to an opportunity to compete for an NBA Championship.
