Giannis Antetokounmpo is not going to back down to any team that comes up against the Bucks. Milwaukee has assembled a strong bunch of players, and could add in more in this off season.

Does winning make the Bucks the favourites ?

The 2021 NBA finals was revolutionising for the Milwaukee Bucks. Not only did they get there for the first since 1973, they also won after half a century. Moreover, their journey was not easy as they made comebacks, and also fought through several difficulties. However, does winning the championship make them the favourites this year.

No matter how impressive the championship run, there will always be the question of what happens when everyone is healthy. Well, in the coming season that will be the scenario. This is when Giannis, Jrue and Khris Middleton need to make their mark.

The Bucks are going to have to fight off stacked organisations like the Nets if they want to make it to the finals. If they do that, the finals is no easy. With this off season, no one knows how it will shape the rest of the league. However, if Giannis Antetokounmpo sees success with everyone healthy, it will solidify him as one of the greats of this game.
