The Giannis Antetokounmpo led Bucks accomplished the unthinkable when they knocked out the Brooklyn Nets from the 2021 playoffs. Undoubtedly, the Bucks deserved this because of their regular-season consistency from the past three years.
This time around, Downtown was fortunate that both Giannis and Khris Middleton were in sync throughout the postseason. But for their upcoming series, Kendrick Perkins has a different theory to suggest to Mike Budenholzer.

The Bucks were so strong against the Brooklyn Nets that they effectively used just one player out of their starting five in Game 7. Both Bryn Forbes and Thanasis Antetokounmpo combined for just six minutes of negligible floor time. All this could happen because of the immense commitment from their star duo. Giannis (50 minutes) and Khris (52 minutes) played with their bodies on the line to match with Kevin Durant. But is it fair to give the Greek Freak all the credit? Kendrick Perkins doesn’t seem to think so.

It is easy to notice how the world always discusses LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, and other duos. But the Bucks’ duo normally doesn’t usually make it to the top five, but that’s going to change after this season.
Giannis, a rim dominator and shot-blocker, when combined with Khris Middleton’s shooting, becomes lethal. The duo complements one another and brings out the best in each other. In the postseason, Khash Money (87.3%) has been better than Giannis (53.8%) in free throw accuracy. Plus, the 29-YO Khris is a way better perimeter shooter, and he combines with Jrue Holiday to become a highly dependable clutch player as opposed to the Freak.
