“I think the best player in the world is the person that is the last one standing, is the person that takes his team to the final, to the finish line and helps them win the game." #FearTheDeer “Do I believe I’m the best player in the world? No,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said. A top-three contender in the NBA MVP odds, Giannis finished second in points per game and PER, while helping the Bucks to the third best offensive rating. That will put more of the offensive workload on Antetokounmpo, who’s more than capable of handling it. Middleton’s fully recovered from offseason knee surgery, but won’t be available for the first few games of the new season due to a wrist issue. Giannis and Holiday have played 18 games together over the last two years without Middleton, and own an 11-7 record. Milwaukee Bucks All-Star Khris Middleton is expected to miss the first few weeks of the regular season as he rehabs from offseason wrist surgery, sources tell Middleton said at Media Day that he did not expect to play in the season opener this week. Milwaukee lost Middleton to a knee injury in round one of last year’s postseason, but even without him they still held a 3-2 series lead over Boston in round two, before falling in seven games. The Bucks are 86-34 over the past two seasons, including playoffs, when Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday all suit up, but just 34-35 when one of them sits. When Milwaukee’s big three is on the court, there might not be a better team in basketball.
