“THE BUCKS NEED MORE TALENT.”
I’ve heard this refrain ad nauseam in recent weeks and months. While it might be true in the strictest sense (I mean which team, except the Warriors perhaps, doesn’t need more talent?), I find the blind panic that seems to have engulfed the fan-base intriguing.
The team just finished an encouraging run to the playoffs in what had seemed at one point a lost season. The Bucks have gotten past the first round of the playoffs just once in the last twenty seven years. Once. Giannis Antetokounmpo, the team’s first transcendent superstar since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar left Milwaukee over 40 years ago, is just 22-years-old.
