What an end of game sequence for Giannis. The steal, dunk and then game saving block on the other end. Thru three games he's been the best player in the league by a mile.

It's easy to forget Giannis is still only 22 years old (for another month and a half though) considering this is already his 5th year in the league!! He is a beast.

I said last year he was behind Kawhi as the best player in the league after Kawhi was unguardable during the postseason -and I still think Kawhi is the better overall player right now- but Giannis could very well eclipse him before the year's over.
He's basically this younger generation's LeBron in that nobody no matter how big can stop him when he gets a full head of steam going. The only difference is LeBron had all of these incredibly advanced guard skills in high school and Giannis has had to develop them. When he's taken that next leap of being a true perimeter player, he's going to be unguardable.

Giannis with another big game... 34 points on 13-21 shooting.... but more importantly Middleton had 20 points so it's not like G is ballhogging it or anything.
Bucks are picking up where they left off. Charlotte is a pretty strong team but just not on their level.

If Giannis would develop some long range shot he definately would be unstoppable, it's impossible to guard such lenght combined with his mobility. And as you say, he doesn't have that ballhog mentality, which makes that kind of dominant players that much harder to guard. Developing long range shot through the years isn't something unussual either.

To me it's moreso about how he moves.
With a true perimeter player, the ball is an extension of his body. He can move with it seamlessly in any direction after the initial move. This is something Kawhi didn't really have until last year or 2015-16 when it just clicked for him, and something Durant used to have but lost due to complacency and laziness -which is ironic because Giannis is basically a combination of Durant and LeBron in a lot of ways. If Giannis ever gets his perimeter skills to that point, he'll be unguardable.

Antetokounmpo is now being discussed in early MVP talks. From the early season, he has all that momentum going. Great for him.

Bledsoe just adds so much to this team. He's the perfect guy to play off of Giannis and flat out knows how to defend. Milwaukee needs another big body down low to replace Monroe but man are they a strong team.

And Giannis just had the greatest in-game dunk I have ever seen. Wow.

Jason Kidd is fired after a collective decision by the management after the team regressed so bad this January and they are barely holding on to the 8th spot. Curious to see how the team responds with an interim head coach.

Wow. That rarely happens with a team coming off of multiple seasons of making the playoffs.

Looks like Jabari Parker will suit up against the Knicks. Yahoo Sports reported that he will get around 15mins if given a game-time decision.

Ersan Ilyasova agrees to 3-year, $21M deal with Bucks.

After a very difficult off season where the Bucks managed to keep most of the key core with the team, but in order to avoid passing over the lux tax threshold had to part with Brogdon and Mirotic, i believe the Bucks should now concentrate on trades, so that they can make back as much as possible of Brogdon's and Mirotic' absence.
As it is, the Bucks have added Robin Lopez and (future promising) Dragan Bender next to D.J. Wilson and Robin Lopez, therefore Ilyasova's contract would logically seem to be the most probable to be involved in a possible upcoming deal.

No surprise that at the end of this coming season the Bucks will offer Giannis a super max extension.
You heard it here first a year in advance that he will not accept and will play out his contract and enter free agency after the 2020-21 season.
