Mike Budenholzer, the Bucks coach said, “That felt like a statement especially when he makes 5 blocks and 13 rebounds to change the game. He is an MVP in our eyes. I think Antetokounmpo loves to play against the best and just lay it all on the court. A little something for us on the line with no. 1 seed.”

Bucks who are now 59-20 n the season have now got the best NBA record for the 2018-19 season with only 3 games for the regular season. This is the first time for the Bucks since the 1973-74 season when Bucks had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson, and Bob Dandridge.

As for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson, and Bob Dandridge, he said, “it is amazing, man. This 6-year journey has been amazing. Hopefully, we will be able to keep on becoming better and reach our goal to win the championship.”
