The Bucks’ journey to the NBA Finals, has been 3 years in the making. Milwaukee in the 2018-19 & 2019-20 seasons, flamed out in the playoffs after recording the best record in the East. But, with the addition of Jrue Holiday and PJ Tucker, Giannis Antetokounmpo & Khris Middleton have finally found the support they need!

And even though the road ahead to the promised land is difficult, Milwaukee looks to put up a fight post their drubbing in Game 1. While the franchise has been lucky to have its roster healthy through most of the season, team chemistry has played a major role in their success.

The Bucks swept rivals Miami Heat in the 1st round, as they put their demons from last season to bed. Next, came a hard-fought 7-game series against a hobbled Brooklyn juggernaut. In a series that most argued would have gone Brooklyn’s way had Kyrie and Harden been healthy, Milwaukee edged past the finish line.

They then dowsed a red-hot Atlanta with Ice-Trae and Giannis missing games with injuries. Even with the superstar out, Middleton, Brook Lopez, and Jrue Holiday took over to seal a spot in the finals.

And while, contributions from veterans Middleton, Holiday, and Tucker in different facets have been invaluable, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been the key. Antetokounmpo has been the driving force for the Bucks all season. The Greek Freak has averaged a whopping 27.7ppg/12.9rpg/5.1apg on 55% shooting from the field.

The Greek Freak, who has taken to the nickname given his inhumane physique and ability to reach the rim is one of the hardest workers in the game today.

But, according to multiple reports from the Bucks over the past few years, Giannis is the energizer. His ability to zone out and enjoy the finer moments has his teammates cracked up. PJ Tucker the new signee recently spoke about the Freak’s nature –
