This season has been all about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s rise to superstardom and likely first MVP. This postseason, however, has been all about Kawhi Leonard.

The Bucks have used their bench more during the postseasonthan any of the remaining teams in the playoffs, and the players have been productive.

Giannis Antetokounmpo poured in 41 points as the Bucks closed out the Pistons with one last rout for their first series victory in 18 years.

On a rare frustrating night for Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks flexed their depth to cruise past the Pistons again for a commanding 3-0 series lead.

Giannis Antetokounmpo turned in an MVP performance and out-dueled Joel Embiid as the Bucks surged past the Sixers late to clinch the best record.

All eyes were on Giannis Antetokounmpo and James Harden, but the Bucks’ Eric Bledsoe stole the show in Milwaukee’s series-sweeping win.

An informal straw poll of 25 media members finds the race between Giannis Antetokounmpo and James Harden could still be decided in the last two weeks.

After the All-Star Game last month, LeBron told Giannis, “I love everything about you, man.” The Greek Freek is poised to seize the King’s throne.

Apparently, the Phoenix Suns are the Milwaukee Bucks’ kryptonite. The Suns are the only team in the NBA to beat the Bucks twice this season.
