The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as we dive further into how Team USA were able to fluster Greece, and Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, on Saturday morning.
In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we examine just how Team USA was able to slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo and, more specifically, Greece in their win Saturday morning, how Hall of Fame big man Jack Sikma developed his trademark reverse pivot jump shot, and much more.
Team USA’s strategy of continually sending bodies at Antetokounmpo eventually wore down the reigning MVP and Greece’s best shot at taking down the Americans. It now leaves Greece in not only a must-win situation, but they must also knock off a surprisingly stout Czech Republic team by at least a 12-point margin Monday morning.
