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.

With a 3-2 in the series against the Hawks, Middleton and Giannis are only a game away from reaching the Finals. Given how the 30-year-old has defied all odds and become a legitimate star in the league, a Finals appearance will be a feather to his cap.
Middleton has always been one of the quietest players on the court and certainly lets his game do the talking. Just like his demeanor on the court, the All-Star guard also keeps his relationship pretty much under the wraps. Take a look at who is Khris Middleton’s mysterious partner.
