Week 6 of the NBA season was easily the best so far for the Milwaukee Bucks. They had a blemish free 4-0 record and many of their players showed some excellent stuff. Only three can call themselves players of the week, however.
A 4-0 week is a beautiful thing. Just ask the Milwaukee Bucks – they can tell you from first hand experience of how great it is.
Milwaukee came into this week with three very winnable games and one game they were absolutely expected to lose. The winnable games all went according to plan. The Bucks bested the Orlando Magic to start the week and then defeated the Brooklyn Nets twice to conclude it.
In the middle of the week Milwaukee flipped the script. They somehow blew out the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers. It wasn’t some kind of fluky performance either. The Bucks dominated in most phases of the game and looked like the better team from the second quarter onward.

How did Milwaukee achieve this momentous week? The answer is simple: a bunch of men, mostly in their low twenties, came together and played tremendous team basketball. Through this shining example of how to hoop like a team there were plenty of notable individual performances.
Interestingly enough, many of the players who really stepped up their game were ones who have not been looked upon highly by these player of the week rankings so far this season. But with a lot of key plays and consistent excellence throughout the four game winning streak, these unheralded individuals deserve some recognition.
Let’s get to it by discussing and honoring one of the most controversial Bucks in recent memory!
