The Milwaukee Bucks are cooking right now, and it’s about time! After a rocky start to the season, they’ve managed to snag wins in seven of their last nine games. It’s like they’ve finally remembered they’re supposed to be one of the league’s top dogs! Don’t get me wrong—there’s still plenty of work ahead. But this hot streak feels like the Bucks are stepping into their groove. For fans who’ve been holding their breath, this is the kind of energy we’ve all been desperately waiting to see.

Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped 34 points, leading the Bucks to a hard-fought 118-113 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. Watching Giannis power his way through defenders never gets old—it’s the perfect description of his relentless playing style.

Sure, it’s been said a million times, but it just fits. Whether you’re a Bucks fan or not, you’ve to respect how he consistently finds a way to dominate. But the Nets coach Jordi Fernandez was candid about his plan to double-team the Greek Freak. “Probably we have to stay home and try to guard Giannis one-on-one. I don’t know if we could … [but] I take responsibility for that,” Fernandez said. “It opened up the 3-point line and they’re a good 3-point shooting team. That’s what they’ve been doing lately. And they made the 3s.”

Hoops reporter Erik Slater, later, also revealed, “Fernandez also said he regrets doubling Giannis in the final minutes. He said that led to open threes that could’ve been avoided.” The Spanish HC continued, “But the reality is, in the last three minutes of the third and in the last six minutes of the game, I believe it was a minus-19 for us. And our defense was atrocious. And if our guys that wear a Brooklyn Nets jersey don’t play hard defense, they don’t have a place in our roster.”

With just under two minutes left, Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered the play of the night. The Bucks were barely holding onto a 109-108 lead when Dennis Schroder darted into the lane, aiming to sink a floater. The Greek Freak wasn’t having it. He swatted the shot like it owed him money, and Khris Middleton scooped up the loose ball to keep Milwaukee in the driver’s seat.

But for how long will the Greek Freak play basketball in Wisconsin?

Giannis Antetokounmpo is all the help Stephen Curry needs

The Warriors have looked solid this season, even after reshuffling much of their roster. They’re sitting comfortably as a top-5 team in the West. But let’s be real—if they want to go toe-to-toe with other title contenders, they’re still missing that one big piece.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Warriors are actively chasing stars to pair with Stephen Curry.

“They’re searching for a playmaker and scorer alongside Curry,” Charania revealed on NBA Today. “They went after Lauri Markkanen this summer and even made a pitch to Paul George. The debate now is whether they’ll find that star outside the roster or within, with someone like Jonathan Kuminga stepping up.”

One wild idea floated by Fadeaway World imagines Giannis Antetokounmpo in a Warriors jersey. The proposal? The Bucks would get Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, De’Anthony Melton, and a stack of future draft picks. In return, Golden State would land Giannis, along with MarJon Beauchamp, Chris Livingston, and Tyler Smith.

It sounds like a fantasy, but it raises an interesting question.

Giannis has stayed fiercely loyal to Milwaukee, yet how long can loyalty outweigh his desire for another championship? The Bucks are competitive, but with Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton showing some decline, cracks are forming.

If the Greek Freak decides he’s had enough of falling short, the Warriors have a trade package that could turn heads. Imagine the Splash Bro and Giannis running the floor together. That’s not just a dream—it’s box office gold waiting to happen.
