Milwaukee Bucks: The Houston Rockets are teaching a master class in building around a star

The Milwaukee Bucks have reached step one in their ultimate goal of winning a championship: they have a star player. Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the NBA’s best, and he’s just 22 years old to boot.

That’s great of course, but it’s just step one. These days, one star without much help isn’t getting you far in the NBA–just look at the Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls, who had Paul George and Jimmy Butler, respectively. The operative word there is “had”, as neither team could surround their stars with enough talent to win much of anything last season, and subsequently traded away their stars.
