The Milwaukee Bucks are finally on the verge of making it to the Finals this season. While talisman Giannis Antetokounmpo has been consistent, it is their shooting guard Khris Middleton who has been the game changer so far in the post-season.

The 30-year-old guard has been a key figure in the post-season run for the Bucks so far. Be it dominating the Nets or hitting clutch shots against a resilient Hawks team, the 2-time All-Star has emerged as the silent killer for the side.

In an interview with the 2-time All-Star said, “I was walking out, they were walking in,”…. “It was fun to know we won that series, but I didn’t get the joy of celebrating our first playoff series win. But I think it was all worth it in the end.”

While the couple hasn’t been that active on social media, Middleton does occasionally posts about his longtime partner. Be it during him signing a big contract with the Bucks or Mother’s Day, the 2-time All-Star always ensures that he is there for his partner.
