The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off their first NBA championship in 50 years, and franchise superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is not satisfied with winning just one ring. He has gotten better every season he has been in the league and finally led his team to a title. He has earned the title of being the NBA’s best player right now, even without a consistent jump shot. If Giannis starts making mid-range jumpers and three-pointers with confidence, his game will elevate him into entering all-time conversations.

GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO IS THE NBA’S BEST PLAYER AND ONLY GETTING BETTER
COLORS KEY | FULL BUCKS OUTLOOK
Giannis Antetokounmpo wrote on Twitter early in his career that he would never leave the Milwaukee Bucks until they built themselves into a championship organization. They did just that, as the franchise won its first championship in half a century this past July, led by the historic play of their franchise icon. The Bucks had experienced a pair of painful playoff exits, namely in 2019 to the Raptors during the ECF, and in 2020 to the Heat with a lopsided second-round series loss in the bubble.
The supporting cast of Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, and PJ Tucker played well, but Antetokounmpo was a superstar in the postseason despite suffering a hyperextended knee. He shot 57% from the field, but saved his best performance for the clincher against the Suns, where he scored 50 points and hit 17-19 free throws. His jump shot and free throw shooting remained inconsistent, but if he begins to knock those shots down with confidence, the NBA’s best player will be even better.
