The Milwaukee Bucks are NBA Champions. But more importantly for our purposes, Texas A&M Aggie Khris Middleton is an NBA Champion. And Middleton wasn’t just a benchwarmer or a role player on this championship run. He was an essential piece to the Bucks’ success, at times even outshining two-time League MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. A few blurbs from the ESPN Stats & Info folks to really drive home how huge of a postseason Middleton just had:
- Khris Middleton has made 15 game-tying or go-ahead shots in the 4th-quarter/OT this postseason. That’s tied with LeBron James (2007) for the most in a single playoffs in the last 25 seasons.
