The reigning league MVP is putting up another MVP-type season so far. The Bucks have a 12-3 record — the best in the East — and are riding a six-game winning streak.

Last year was a monumental campaign for the Bucks. Not only did they churn in a 60-win season, but they also made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. It was a tangible sign that the Bucks are now legitimate title contenders. As such, ending the season without the Larry O'Brien trophy in their hands will be tagged as a failed campaign.

The Bucks have a pretty good shot at claiming the title this year. Player movements in the offseason pretty much balanced the competition in the league. As such, more teams also have a legitimate shot at winning it all. But the Bucks seem to have a great advantage. After all, they have the Greek Freak on their side — and he's not going anywhere.
