Milwaukee Bucks: Why the Bucks have the best Big 3 in the NBA
The Milwaukee Bucks trio of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday are the best “Big Three” in the NBA. Many fans would loudly protest this assertion. This would be a knee-jerk reaction devoid of analysis. Ever since LeBron James took his talents to South Beach, the formula for winning a championship has been to comprise a top-heavy starting lineup surrounded by also-rans who don’t mind being a subplot to a compelling drama.
However, the Bucks have managed to form a Big Three that fits together perfectly while not sacrificing quality role players in the supporting cast.
The Brooklyn Nets are the elephant in the room. When James Harden was acquired via trade, many pundits automatically selected them to be the favorites in the Eastern Conference. Going all-in on an NBA Finals trip this season meant sacrificing youth, defense and rebounding to partner “The Beard” with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Meanwhile, Milwaukee’s biggest off-season move of acquiring Holiday allowed them to maintain their defensive identity and rebounding prowess.
