Former Bulls center Bill Wennington won three NBA Championships with the Bulls, so he should know a thing or two about winning an NBA Finals.

Wennington picks the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA Finals over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The former Bulls center could have picked the Warriors over the Cavaliers because his former team was beat by LeBron James and the Cavs in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
