We are ready for the 2019-2020 NBA season. Also, so is Giannis Antetokounmpo; who says that the best is yet to come from a Milwaukee Bucks squad that reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season.
Furthermore, the Greek Freak is talking up his squad in the days leading up to the start of the regular season. Equally important, Milaukee was undefeated in preseason NBA action. However, the Milwaukee star says that the games don’t count yet, but big things are on the way.

Antetokounmpo feels like Milwaukee is only scratching the surface.
“It’s scary how good we can be.”
He continued on, describing why they’re ready for a run back to the end of the NBA playoffs; perhaps finishing things off this season.
“Just the habits that we built these five games, I think defensively the way we played, we were really active as a team covering for one another, but going 5-0 doesn’t mean nothing. As we move forward, it gets harder and harder, and hopefully in these five games we built good habits that can carry over into the regular season.”
Earlier in the offseason, Antetokounmpo addressed rumors about his pending free agency. The reigning 2018-2019 MVP can sign anywhere he wants for top dollar, and it’s likely that he will just join forces with another superstar to form another super team. After all, that’s life in the NBA nowadays.
Still, for now he remains committed to the city of Milwaukee. And it sounds like he remains intent and focused on making his lesser-known Bucks teammates famous. This could mean he puts on a show for all of us in the season that lies ahead.
