DETROIT — The Milwaukee Bucks have risen from the dead, and the man who’s rolled away the stone has put them on his back, like he should.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is playing like an MVP, an award he won twice in his mid-20s. He and Damian Lillard are forming a chemistry that looks formidable, with Khris Middleton expected to make his season debut Friday after double ankle surgery this offseason.
And Antetokounmpo, who turns 30 today, admits he wants a third Most Valuable Player award.
“Yeah, that definitely might put tears in my eyes,” Antetokounmpo told Yahoo Sports earlier this week.
