With the NBA season on hiatus due to the coronavirus for over a month now, players around the league have had to find new ways to fill their time in recent weeks.
From a Milwaukee Bucks perspective, glimpses of that have already come about in the form of the team’s superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo, learning how to play guitar, or getting the attention of grandmasters with his chess play.
This weekend may have been even stranger for Bucks players than any other so far, though.
Of course, that’s because if normal life, and sports beyond that, hadn’t been upended by a global pandemic over the past couple of months, the Bucks would have been starting off their quest for an NBA championship as the league’s best team on the opening weekend of playoff action.
