Milwaukee Bucks star Khris Middleton has been around for quite some time now. In fact, he’s now entering his 12th season in what has been a very colorful career thus far.
Through it all, the 32-year-old has picked up quite a few learnings along the way. One of them is putting in the hard work behind the scenes to make sure that games become “easy.”
Milwaukee Bucks Star Khris Middleton Drops Sage Knowledge
In a recent interview, new Bucks superstar Damian Lillard revealed that one of the things that has impressed him the most about his new team is how consistent they are. Every single person on the squad is consistent when it comes to the work they put in, their routines, and of course, their drive to succeed.
When asked to react to Dame’s recent observation, particularly as one of the leaders of the team, Middleton revealed that what is done behind the scenes is supposed to be the hardest part:
“I learned that early in my career in Detroit and my first couple years in Milwaukee. Build a routine,” he said, via Eric Nehm of The Athletic. “The organization has made sure that everybody has built a routine where we’re taking care of our bodies in the training room, we’re taking care of our bodies in the weight room and then getting our work in before practice and after practice, whether that’s shooting games, just getting up shots, working on certain moves, whatever. You take that seriously because this is supposed to be the hardest part.
“You want games to be as easy as they can be, and the only way that game can be easy and the only way you can be prepared for games is if we do all this stuff before and after practices and after games. That stuff adds up, so that’s why it’s really important to us, especially myself, to have that routine and make sure I’m checking off all the boxes.”
I see no lies here. Middleton’s rise to success is a clear testament to what this man has had to go through to reach the heights that he has in his career, as well as the hard work he has put in to get there.
As a leader on the Bucks, this is exactly the type of mentality he wants his teammates to imbibe, especially the younger members of the squad. As he said, games are supposed to be the easy part.
