The Milwaukee Bucks clinched the No. 1 seed throughout the NBA playoffs in a Wednesday night victory over the Chicago Bulls, and will take advantage of that situation by resting superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and other key players in Friday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Giannis, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez have all been […]

Ja Morant was out of action on Wednesday as the Memphis Grizzlies saw their hopes of securing the No. 1 seed in the West disappear right in front of their eyes.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo should be the MVP, but is dealing with a case of “voter fatigue” according to teammate Brook Lopez.

The Milwaukee Bucks star is in contention to win his third MVP trophy. However, Giannis isn’t too bothered by all the talk about the […]

Keep doubting Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Milwaukee Bucks star loves it and uses it as a fuel to show everyone what he can do. Case in point: their Sunday destruction of Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. Antetokounmpo absolutely dominated against the Sixers, exploding for a double-double of 33 points and 14 rebounds. He also had […]

Depending on where you stand, the MVP race in the 2022-23 NBA season is either a two-man race between Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic and Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid or a three-man race involving those same two behemoths and Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. For former Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings, there’s only […]

There’s no doubt LeBron James and Kevin Durant will go down as two of the best players to ever step on a basketball court, and Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo is aware of the standard set by the two all-time greats.

Porzingis went off on Tuesday night […]

For much of the 2022-23 season, Denver Nuggets star center Nikola Jokic has led the way in the MVP race once again.

Ok, let’s do it: it’s time to talk about the NBA MVP race.

Jokic’s case is predicated on his historically good advanced stats; Embiid, closing in […]

When you think about it, it’s kind of silly.

The issue of nepotism in Hollywood has come to the forefront over the past year or so, with the so-called “nepo babies” receiving criticism regarding the merits of their achievements.

Even Giannis Antetokounmpo himself couldn’t believe that he is now the Milwaukee Bucks’ all-time leader in games played.
