There are times that we take greatness for granted. As far as the Milwaukee Bucks are concerned, that’s a regular occurrence when Giannis Antetokounmpo does something previously unimaginable. In this case, though, it is actually Giannis’ brilliance that is blinding us to another stretch of incredible performance from one of his teammates: Brook Lopez.
Lopez is in his fifteenth NBA season and, as of this morning, leads the league in blocks per game at 4.3. Yes, it’s extremely early in the year, and yes, it’s only been three games, but this sort of dominance is a welcome sight for Bucks fans – and the Bucks themselves – who sorely missed Lopez for most of the regular season last year.
