After weeks of speculation Milwaukee Bucks Finally, I mentioned Khris Middleton and while Kyle Kuzma improves the team, Giannis Antetokunmpo, which is understandable, scares the loss of his oldest teammate.
. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published interview with Giannis, in which he shared his emotions after trade.
“For me, it can be a business for many people because they were around him,” he said. “For me it is a bit bigger than business. It’s a family. ” While he recognizes the transactional nature of NBA, Antokunmpo said his 12-year-old teammate remains his “brother”.
“After basketball I will have a relationship with him. It hurts a bit, but at the end of the day I understand the business side of things and I will still appear to work and do my job until the time comes to immerse. “
Certainly, fans of Giannis, Khris and Bucks have memories of their time together, before the start of the 2021 finals. Although the team traded in the interest of the next ring, and even with all rumors and time to prepare for moving, it is arduous to put it for an era in Milwaukee, which includes the time of the Antetokunmpo’s career.
Giannis Antetokunmpo and Khris Middleton brought the iconic memories of Milwaukee Bucks
Yanking Milwaukee from the basement of the Eastern Conference, the era Giannis-Middleton created 9 performances in the playoffs, including a few conference finals and the NBA 2021 title. Although Khash has never been the same since his injury in the first round Playoff 2021-2, remains a spinal icon championship Giannis says that their relationship goes much deeper:
Not only did I win, but I lost many times with him. I have been in a obscure place with him many times. I was on a bus that goes with him in many pressure situations. It’s almost like I was a war with him. That’s what I remember. Not only the good times we had, one good time we had, I remember all the other times that everyone relied on us. The organization depended on us. The city was dependent on us. Our teammates relied on us. I remember all these moments.
At the largest stage, in the latest history of Bucks, Middleton shone against Phoenix in the final, an average of 24.0 ppg in six matches, including 40-part in the game 4 to even a series of 2-2. Through the changes on the main coach, from Mike Budenholzer to Adrian Griffin, to Doc Rivers, Middleton was there, and the figure was even falling. He was there through a switch in a point in 2022-23 out of season, from Jrue holidays to Damian Lillard.
Together with Giannis, Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez and Pat Connaughton (sorry Thanasis), until this morning Middleton was one of the few survivors of this acquired ring. With the upcoming date of trade, any of Connaughton, Portis and Lopez can also be elsewhere on Thursday at 15:00.
Mourning organization
Of course, the Greek maniac is not the only member of the organization mourning movement. “Everyone will be Miss Khris, his leadership,” Giannis regretted.
He continued:
For me, my brotherhood from Khris is the most critical thing I had in this band for many years. We are the oldest guys. Not the oldest guys, but we’ve been here for 12 years. There were so many moments together. I was in Khris more than among my brothers and family. I had amazing moments with him on the pitch. Everyone will miss him.
Middleton, spending everything except the debut season in Milwaukee 735 regular matches of the regular season On average, 17.1 points, 4.9 Reb and 4.1 AST when firing 46.1% from the field, 38.9% to three and 87.9% on the line.
In 80 performances in the Playoff phase, in 37.6 minutes for the competition, these numbers will enhance to 20.6, 6.5 and 4.8 to 44.1/39.0/86.6 Splits.
According to the contract, until 2025–26, Middleton is approaching 35 years after expiry. How much he remained in the tank is uncertain, but Bucks fans will be grateful forever for his heroic.
