    MILWAUKEE, WI – Even if you have a full wallet, it never hurts to add a couple of Bucks. See what I did there? Milwaukee Bucks stars Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday have committed to join USA Basketball for the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The two will make their Olympic debuts under Spurs head coach Greg Popovich.

    What This Means

    Team USA is the presumed favorite to take home gold, which comes at no surprise. Adding Middleton and Holiday to the roster mean two things: USA has more depth and the additions come at a great time for their careers. After a stunning series win against Brooklyn, news like this validates the growth for both Middleton and Holiday. As the Bucks prepare for the ECF against Atlanta, the confidence shoots to the moon for two Bucks stars, not even mentioning the stellar performance of Giannis Antetokounmpo.

    After the addition of Middleton and Holiday, just one spot remains on the USA roster. Notable players to decline invitations so far are Chris Paul, Stephen Curry and Donovan Mitchell. As of this afternoon, the roster includes:

    Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday, Milwaukee Bucks

    James Harden and Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets

    Damian Lillard, Portland Trailblazers

    Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns

    Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors

    Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards

    Kevin Love, Cleveland Cavaliers

    Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics

    Bam Adebayo, Miami Heat

    This is a win-win for the Bucks, either way. If they are fortunate enough to advance to the NBA Finals, smiles would be permanent for a long stretch. If Team USA brings home gold, they will boast two of those medals in the “Mean Streets” of Milwaukee. What a week to be a Bucks fan.

    Any chance Holiday or Middleton ask Durant why he took a long two in the series clincher? I am not sure I would put money on it.
