Giannis

Well what do you know, the healthy champs showed up and showed out.  It wasn’t always pretty but they demonstrated a lot of grit in their comeback win Tuesday night.  Down 10 points at halftime on the road, the Bucks battled all 48 minutes to squeak by with the 118-116 victory.   With only seven regular season games left, the Bucks seem to be clicking on all cylinders.

Rodgers’ tumultuous offseason coinciding with the Bucks’ championship run is a symbol for the changing of the guard.  While the situation with Rodgers and his bout with COVID-19 unfolds, let me state the case for Giannis as the new king of WI sports. Humble Beginnings One thing that makes…
