Last year, the Bucks stormed to a phenomenal victory. Guided by the Greek freak himself, the men in green ended their drought of half a century. It was the side’s first title since the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar era. Although Giannis was the primary protagonist, he was aided by Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday.
