The Milwaukee Bucks [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/milwaukee-bucks] had a shaky start in the playoffs. However, things are falling in place for the Bucks. They won Games 2 and 3 comfortably and it was none other than reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/giannis-antetokounmpo] who made that possible. Each player has a different route to the NBA, and for Giannis, it has been filled with obstacles. But he has improved with each passing season and established himself as one of the best players in the league. The Greek Freak has been in the form of his life. Giannis has led the Bucks to the best record in the league for two consecutive seasons. But last year, Giannis’ breakout season was cut short by the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals. This has been a historic season for Giannis as he surpassed the legendary Wilt Chamberlain for the best player efficiency rating [https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/per_season.html] in a single season. After Game 3, Giannis has yet another record to his name. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Bucks-vs-Magic-1.jpg] CAN GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO BRING A CHAMPIONSHIP TO MILWAUKEE BUCKS? It has been 49 years since the Bucks won an NBA championship [https://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/NBA_1971.html]. The pressure is on Giannis’ shoulders to bring the golden trophy back to Milwaukee. Giannis has certainly taken on the role of carrying the team on his back. In Game 3 of the first round vs Orlando Magic, Giannis put up some legendary numbers. He scored 35 points, grabbed 11 boards, and dished out 7 times all within 31 minutes. The Bucks superstar is the first player since 1975 to achieve 35/10/5 in a playoff game. Moreover, the closest anyone has come to shattering this record was Shaquille O’Neal in 1996. Shaq achieved the feat in 36 minutes. There is a belief all around the league that Giannis has the 2019-20 MVP award already locked in. If he can carry the Bucks to the championship ring, it will be a fairytale end to the season for the team. Bucks have built the perfect team around Giannis by surrounding him with shooters in Khris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe, and Brook Lopez. Along with his out of the world scoring ability, Giannis’ impact on defense is unmatched. He is one of the top 3 candidates to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo is having a historic season. He adds yet another feat to
his season, But what is the record? Check out now.

The 2020 <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> Playoffs will take place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Due to the severity of the coronavirus pandemic, there will be no fans in attendance for the entire playoff series.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-344955" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200817235157/EYxJVM-XgAMyNUR-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

However, there will be no changes made to the tournament structure. This year’s postseason format is the same as that of the 2019 Playoffs or any other year since the tournament’s inception. The significant difference is that there will be no fans and every team will play in a neutral venue.
<h2>The teams that have qualified for the 2020 NBA Playoffs</h2>
Qualifying for the postseason is a difficult task. 30 teams from both conferences play out 82 games in a stretch during the regular season. But this year has been a unique experience. No team got to complete their original schedule as the pandemic caused chaos and urged the NBA to take a four and a half month hiatus.

However, the league managed to organize a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/orlando-bubble/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">massive bubble</a>, in which each invited team played eight seeding games to determine the playoff table. With all regular-season games done and dusted, eight best teams from each conference have made their entry into the 2020 NBA playoff bracket.

<h2>2020 NBA Playoffs Schedule and how it works</h2>
This year’s playoff structure is no different than any other year. Barring the fact that the players will be competing for the championship inside a closed bubble, everything else is the same. The teams will be following the same format, playing out a best-of-seven series to determine the winner of each playoff round.

There are a few teams in contention for lifting the championship this year. But one thing is for certain. This is a game that we’ve never before experienced. We really can't predict the outcome this year. The bubble, the lack of fans, and the number of restrictions in place. Here is a photograph of the playoff bracket:

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong><b>Who is Giannis Antetokounmpo?</b></strong></h2>
Giannis Antetokounmpo or the<em> "Greek Freak"</em> is one of those names that have spurred the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_self" rel="noopener">NBA</a> circuit in recent times. Born in Greece to Nigerian parents, Antetokounmpo began playing basketball for the youth teams of Filathlitikos, eventually playing for their senior team. Following this, the power forward declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft in 2013, where Antetokounmpo was drafted with the 15th overall pick by the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/milwaukee-bucks/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Milwaukee Bucks</a>, a team he has been playing for since then. He wears the No. 34 jersey.

Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Over his career, Antetokounmpo has been an NBA All-Star seven times. Giannis also won two successive MVP trophies in 2019 and 2020 to solidify his status as a star in the league. After multiple seasons of being heavily criticized for his failure to win a title, the power forward silenced his critics winning his first championship and Final MVP in 2021. In the 2023-24 season, he is continuing his top form, with the Bucks now a force to be reckoned with in the East.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Giannis Antetokounmpo's early life </b></h2>
Born in Athens to Nigerian immigrant parents, Charles and Veronica <span style="font-weight: 400">Antetokounmpo</span>, in 1994, Giannis Antetokounmpo grew up in a tough environment, with his family struggling to afford the basics. He started playing basketball around age 7, finding an escape and a passion for the sport. By his mid-teens, he had left school to focus on helping provide for his family, taking odd jobs around the city.

Basketball became more than just a game for the young athlete â€“ it was, perhaps, an opening for a better life. That once far-off dream, however, was soon realized, with Antetokounmpo's first-round selection in the 2013 NBA draft.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife and children</b></h2>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">Giannis Antetokounmpo fathers three children with his fiancee Mariah Riddlesprigger: his two sons Liam, 4, and Maverick Shai, 2, and his new-born daughter Eva Brooke. He has four brothers, Francis, Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex. Two of his siblings are contemporaries in the league, with Kostas securing a championship in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers and Thanasis with the Bucks in 2021.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Giannis Antetokounmpo's career timeline</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Drafted 15th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2013 NBA draft, Antetokounmpo was n</span><span style="font-weight: 400">amed to the NBA All-Rookie second team in his first season. Over the next few years, he quickly exceeded expectations, growing into a versatile scorer, lockdown defender, and facilitator all in an athletic 6â€™11â€ frame.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He broke out in his third season, averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game and earning the Most Improved Player award. In the 2019-20 season, the Greek had another one of his finer campaigns, putting up 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists to lead the Bucks to their best-ever record in the NBA. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">(56-17). </span></i>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2021, Giannis delivered on his promise by spearheading the Bucks to the NBA title and earning a Finals MVP title in the process. He then went on to sign one of the largest contracts in NBA history, a 5-year $228 million extension with the Bucks.</span>

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Who is Giannis Antetokounmpo? Giannis Antetokounmpo or the &#8220;Greek Freak&#8221; is one of those names that have spurred the NBA circuit in recent times. Born in Greece to Nigerian parents, Antetokounmpo began playing basketball for the youth teams of Filathlitikos, eventually playing for their senior team. Following this, the power forward declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft in 2013, where Antetokounmpo was drafted with the 15th overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks, a team he has been playing for since then. He wears the No. 34 jersey. Jan 3, 2024; Indianapolis, Indiana, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) in the second half against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports Over his career, Antetokounmpo has been an NBA All-Star seven times. Giannis also won two successive MVP trophies in 2019 and 2020 to solidify his status as a star in the league. After multiple seasons of being heavily criticized for his failure to win a title, the power forward silenced his critics winning his first championship and Final MVP in 2021. In the 2023-24 season, he is continuing his top form, with the Bucks now a force to be reckoned with in the East. Giannis Antetokounmpo&#8217;s early life Born in Athens to Nigerian immigrant parents, Charles and Veronica Antetokounmpo, in 1994, Giannis Antetokounmpo grew up in a tough environment, with his family struggling to afford the basics. He started playing basketball around age 7, finding an escape and a passion for the sport. By his mid-teens, he had left school to focus on helping provide for his family, taking odd jobs around the city. Basketball became more than just a game for the young athlete â€“ it was, perhaps, an opening for a better life. That once far-off dream, however, was soon realized, with Antetokounmpo&#8217;s first-round selection in the 2013 NBA draft. Giannis Antetokounmpo&#8217;s wife and children Giannis Antetokounmpo fathers three children with his fiancee Mariah Riddlesprigger: his two sons Liam, 4, and Maverick Shai, 2, and his new-born daughter Eva Brooke. He has four brothers, Francis, Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex. Two of his siblings are contemporaries in the league, with Kostas securing a championship in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers and Thanasis with the Bucks in 2021.

Over the next few years, he quickly exceeded expectations, growing into a versatile scorer, lockdown defender, and facilitator all in an athletic 6â€™11â€ frame. He broke out in his third season, averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game and earning the Most Improved Player award. In the 2019-20 season, the Greek had another one of his finer campaigns, putting up 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists to lead the Bucks to their best-ever record in the NBA. (56-17). In 2021, Giannis delivered on his promise by spearheading the Bucks to the NBA title and earning a Finals MVP title in the process. He then went on to sign one of the largest contracts in NBA history, a 5-year $228 million extension with the Bucks.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khris Middleton 2021: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</strong></h2>
James Khristian Middleton, better known as Khris Middleton, might not be one of the biggest stars in the NBA, but over the years has built an incredible reputation of being a versatile and an underrated player for the Eastern Conference juggernauts Milwaukee Bucks.

Starting off his college career with Texas A&amp;M, Middleton wasn't the flashiest player. Showing prospects of being a great three-level scorer and an unselfish forward, the Bucks' forward looked like a solid rotational player.

[caption id="attachment_694678" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-694678" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-07-04T022928Z_77195532_MT1USATODAY16364150_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PLAYOFFS-MILWAUKEE-BUCKS-AT-ATLANTA-HAWKS.jpg" alt="Milwaukee Bucks' Khris Middleton" width="1920" height="1281" /> Jul 3, 2021; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (22) dribbles the ball against Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (11) during the third quarter in game six of the Eastern Conference Finals for the 2021 NBA Playoffs at State Farm Arena.

Despite his middling statistics in college, the Detroit Pistons eventually took a chance on him drafting him in the second round of the 2012 draft with the 39th pick. Given that he was a second-round pick, though, chances were sparse for the then 21-year-old. Even in his limited minutes, the rookie had terrible shooting splits and looked like a bust.

But the forward got a fresh chance in the next season. In a shock move, the Bucks <a href="https://www.nba.com/bucks/release/bucks-acquire-knight-middleton-and-kravtsov-pistons" target="_blank" rel="noopener">traded</a> off one of their stars in Brandon Jennings and brought in Brandon Knight and Viacheslav Kravtsov, along with Middleton. This turned out to be a game changer for Milwaukee.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khris Middleton with the Milwaukee Bucks</strong></h2>
In his very first season with the Bucks, head coach Larry Drew gave Middleton a much more prominent role in the team. Playing as a starter for the first in his NBA career, the forward's statistics increased significantly as he almost doubled his stats, <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/middlkh01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaging</a> 12.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.

This was just the start, though. With the appointment of Jason Kidd, Middleton became an integral piece for the young Bucks side. In a season or two it was the duo of Middleton and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/giannis-antetokounmpo/">Giannis Antetokounmpo</a>, who were the two biggest components of the Bucks.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-293698" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200617183047/giannis-middleton.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

Playing off of the two young unproven stars was a gamble, but it eventually worked out incredibly well for the Bucks. With Antetokounmpo taking massive strides towards improving as a power forward, Khris became the second star the team needed. Although the 'Greek Freak' dominated headlines, he had his own limitations, as he wasn't a versatile scorer.

Middleton stepped in on these situations. A three-level scorer and an unselfish player, the forward was the go-to player in clutch situations. While the duo did flourish in the regular seasons, the team looked flat in the playoffs. With the Bucks overly dependent on the duo and a lack of a quality supporting cast meant that some things needed to change.

The Bucks front-office certainly delivered as they made a plethora of changes ahead of the 2020-21 season. Bringing in an All-Star guard in Jrue Holiday, Milwaukee finally had their much-needed third star in the roster. With Holiday and multiple versatile shooters in the lineup, the Bucks looked unstoppable.

This also gave a chance for Middleton to shine. With the team now possessing some versatile player, the 2-time All-Star could step up in late game situations and had easier opportunities to score. This was apparent in the 2021 playoffs.

Facing off against the likes of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/">Kevin Durant</a> and James Harden, it was Middleton who was X-Factor, especially in the 4th quarter. Taking over the Bucks offense multiple times in the post-season, Middleton showed the world why he was one of the most underrated scorers in the league.

Proving to be one of the most clutch players in the playoffs, it was Middleton and Giannis' incredible two-way play that was essential for the Bucks' success in the playoffs. The duo eventually proved why the Bucks were right to trust them as they led Milwaukee to their first championship in 50 years and their second title in franchise history.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Major Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">2x NBA All-Star (2019, 2020)</p>
<p style="text-align: center">NBA Champion (2021)</p>
<p style="text-align: center">1x Olympic Champion (2021)</p>
<p style="text-align: center">2010-11 All-Big 12</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Khris Middleton stats</h2>
Khris Middleton might have started off his career with career averages of 6.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game, but he hasn't looked back ever since. In the 10 seasons he has played in the league, the 2-time All-Star has averaged 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.

But perhaps his best performance came in the 2021 playoffs. In the 23 games he played in the post-season, his numbers certainly took a significant jump as he averaged  23.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. This was a jump in all facets of his game and certainly one of the key factors for Bucks' incredible championship run.

In the current season, Middleton has continued to put up solid numbers. <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/middlkh01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Averaging</a>  20.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, it looks like the 30-year-old is on his way to yet another solid season with Milwaukee.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Khris Middleton contract 2021</h2>
Middleton's incredible growth has certainly been one of the key reasons for Bucks dominance over the years. Seeing how crucial the forward has become in their lineup, Milwaukee certainly recognised that they needed to splash the cash for the forward.

Ahead of the 2019-20 season, Middleton signed a 5-year <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/khris-middleton-10864/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contract</a> worth a whooping $177 million with all the money guaranteed to the 2-time All-Star. Given the form Middleton is showing, it might not be too long before the Bucks offer an extension to the 30-year-old.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Khris Middleton's net worth</h2>
According to <a href="https://wealthygorilla.com/khris-middleton-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wealthy Gorilla</a>, Middleton's estimated net worth is roughly $50 million. Furthermore, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/khris-middleton/?sh=36994c001f4a" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Forbes</a> also states that the 2-time All-Star made a total of $23.1 M in 2021, which adds to his total value.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Khris Middleton endorsements</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/khris-middleton/?sh=36994c001f4a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a>, Middleton is among the 100-best paid athletes in the world. Although his in-game earnings make up the majority of his earnings, he does have endorsements from some big names in the industry.

With the likes of Rick Ross, X2natural energy, Hulu, Nike, Panini, T-Mobile, Nintendo, the 30-year-old earns about $1 million from his endorsements alone.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Khris Middleton charity</h2>
While Middleton's on the court exploits are impressive, he is a fan favorite for his acts off the court. Staying loyal to the Bucks franchise for years, Khris never forgets to serve the community.

Be it his initiative of "<a href="https://www.nba.com/bucks/news/khris-middleton-receives-december-nba-cares-community-assist-award" target="_blank" rel="noopener">12 Days of Khrismas</a>" where he participates in 12 different acts of service or be it him <a href="https://behindthebuckpass.com/2020/04/22/milwaukee-bucks-khris-middleton-donates-25000-mps-relief-fund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donating</a> $25,000 to the MPS foundations, Middleton never shies away from contributing to the community.
