This season – and the post-season – were going to be when the Milwaukee Bucks convinced Giannis Antetokounmpo the franchise can be a consistent winner. A big winner.
Action Network columnist Matt Moore says that’s why the coronavirus interruption in the N-B-A season has hurt the Bucks the most.
Antetokounmpo could be a free agent one year from now, and it would have greatly bolstered the Bucks’ case for him to stay if they continued to dominate play and grabbed that N-B-A championship.
Even if play resumes, there’s no guarantee the team can recapture the magic that led it to a 53-and-12 record.
Not winning it all doesn’t mean the Greek Freak leaves, but it would have made it a lot more likely he would make other teams continue to “Fear the Deer.”
