Looks like Milwaukee Bucks stars Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday have been watching a lot of Green Bay Packers highlights from last season. The two All-Stars did their best impersonation of the Packers' Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams connection against the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena on Thursday.
Middleton showed his quarterback skills as he located a streaking Holiday on the other end for an easy deuce.

Middleton did look like QB1-material right there, while Holiday displayed speed and catching ability fit for a wide receiver in the NFL. Rodgers and Adams would have certainly been proud.
The Bucks ran away with a 120-109 win over the Hawks in Giannis Antetokounmpo's return from a six-game absence due to injury. The two-time reigning MVP, however, laid low and put up just 15 points in 25 minutes.
Luckily for the Bucks, Jrue Holiday picked up the slack, scoring 23 points on 9-of-17 shooting from the field, along with seven assists, four rebounds, and one steal in 34 minutes. Khris Middleton also displayed his versatility with a near triple-double performance of 10 points, nine boards, and seven dimes.
The win improved the Bucks' record to 35-20, which is third in the Eastern Conference, while the Hawks aren't too far behind with a 30-26 slate.
