Eerily, an old State Farm commercial starring Chris Paul predicted the Phoenix Suns’ loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2021 NBA Finals.

After 16 long years, for the first time in his glorious career, Chris Paul had reached the biggest stage of the NBA- the Finals. Despite having a great performance, CP3 and his Phoenix Suns fell to the Milwaukee Bucks blowing a 2-0 lead, eventually losing to Giannis Antetokounmpo and co. 4-2.

This finals loss came as a shock to several Phoenix fans and players as well, who looked to be well in charge of the series initially. However, an old State Farm commercial kind of predicted Chris and the Suns’ loss to the Bucks in these finals.

An avid NBA fan knows that Chris Paul has been one of the spokesman for the insurance company – State Farm for quite some time now. Since 2012, the “Point God” has featured in quite a few commercials. However, there was one old commercial in particular, which mysteriously had foreseen the 2021 NBA Finals result.
