The Milwaukee Bucks know that returning to the NBA Finals takes more than just putting together a talented squad of basketball players to pass and shoot the ball. Chemistry and proper game planning are also instrumental assets for a team to win the Larry O’Brien trophy in a league full of the best ballers in the world.
However, it cannot be denied that the team is very happy to have two superstar players on their roster. Both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are incredible players who can take over games whenever they want,
Of course, it takes more than the two of them to bring the Bucks to an NBA championship. They need the help of every single player on the Bucks roster if they want to hoist another championship banner next season.
It cannot be denied that having two supremely talented players are a massive help to a team’s championship aspirations, though. One stat in particular highlights the caliber of players they have on the roster.

Bucks fans will be delighted to see Antetokounmpo and Lillard among the best scorers the league has ever seen over the past decade. The fact that they can explode offensively at any given moment gives plenty of comfort for Doc Rivers to get a little more creative with his offensive schemes.
Whether the two can get the Milwaukee Bucks to the Finals is an entirely different matter, but having two great scorers can greatly boost their chances.
