It was 1971 when a young Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, then known as Lew Alcindor, led the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA championship. More than 50 years later, the city of Milwaukee saw another giant lead them to basketball glory once again. This time, the 26-year-old “Greek Monster” Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to their second championship. While the Bucks have struggled to maintain their championship form since winning 2021, the arrival of Damian Lillard has lit a new fire.

On the other hand, they went 3-1 when Lillard dressed and Giannis took a break. So, is Damian Lillard the secret sauce that the Bucks have been missing? Or maybe the partnership between Dame and the Greek Freak is the secret sauce to the Bucks’ championship run?
