With the 2019-20 NBA season currently on pause, that allows all of us an opportunity to zoom out and assess the bigger picture of the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Bucks have undergone a phenomenal transformation since Mike Budenholzer was hired as head coach, jumping from first round playoff exits, to 60 wins and Conference Finals appearances.
The fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s game has reached new heights in that time, making him a likely soon-to-be back-to-back MVP winner looms large over everything too. Particularly as the prospect of a contract extension means there’s a very realistic path to imagining the Bucks being really good for a long time.
