He obviously did not have a role as preponderant as Giannis Antetokounmpo, author of 50 points in Game 6, on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, against Phoenix.
But, regardless, like the Greek, Axel Toupane was crowned NBA champion with the Milwaukee Bucks for the first time.
If the Alsatian did not play any of the six matches in the final, he contributed a little to the edifice during the play-offs.
Axel Toupane scored, on average, 1.3 points, and took 1 rebound in the four play-off games in which he participated, for a franchise he joined in March.
In total, this season with the Bucks, he's played 8 games, scored 1.8 points, took 0.8 rebounds and provided 0.5 assist.
Among the French who lifted the Larry O'Brien trophy, Axel Toupane joined Tony Parker (2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014 with the San Antonio Spurs), Boris Diaw (2014 with the Spurs), Ronny Turiaf (2012, with the Miami Heat), Ian Mahinmi (2011, with the Dallas Mavericks) and Rodrigue Beaubois (2011, with the Mavericks).
