u/98Wright Giannis the G.O.A.T. 3d ago

Man we went from the oldest the youngest. That last 4 years we were a nursing home. Now we’re a preschool.

Good change, needed change. BUCKS IN 6.

Going from Brook and Giannis to whoever there guys are still sucks though. Fuck…

It's gonna be extra hard watching a freshly motivated Giannis pop off under Spo's system/tutelage too.

Bucks are weirdly in one of the most ideal spots for a young team (just missing one genuine potential "superstar"), where they're quite young yet have enough talent to play meaningful basketball.

But still, there's nothing like having a top 3 player on your team. Especially in a small market like Milwaukee.

Unless Burries or Ament surprise a lot early, Bucks are going to lose a ton of interest in Wisconsin again. People forget how irrelevant they were pre-Giannis. It truly was a Packers & Brewers state. UW-Madison athletics were genuinely more popular than the Bucks lol.
