“Big Three” has always been a silly term, albeit a useful way to pool and compare top-end talent among NBA teams. In terms of historical comparisons, the Milwaukee Bucks probably rate out more as a “sizable three,” but the gradations of largeness matter less than the substance behind them. Since the arrival of Jrue Holiday, the $40M dollar man and “Buck for life,” Milwaukee fans have fantasized about Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton having some backcourt scoring punch in the Playoffs to go with their scoring outputs. Finally, Game Five delivered a crossing of the star streams, leading to a dramatic 123-119 gut punch of a win.
