Gyro Step: Covering all things Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks have a shocking amount of news to cover for mid-July. Tyler Herro apparently got in an altercation with Bam Adebayo, Gary Trent Jr. got a contract so bad everyone agreed it was cap circumvention, the Bucks reportedly may trade for Peyton Watson, and oh yeah we saw Brayden Burries, Nate Ament, and other Bucks play in Las Vegas Summer League. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti covered it all in an equally absurd mega pod.

Brayden Burries has dazzled in Las Vegas Summer League and it looks like the Milwaukee Bucks may have gotten a steal at 10 overall. Ti Windisch hopped on for a quick solo pod as he couldn't wait until the next scheduled Gyro Step this weekend to discuss Burries game and how he looks more dynamic on offense than he expected at this stage. We will have a packed episode with more Burries talk, plus cover the Gary Trent (Grent) contract and Tyler Herro altercation next time. It will be special.

The Milwaukee Bucks solved their roster crunch and added a pair of nice 2027 second round picks on Tuesday night, sending Taurean Prince and Gary Harris to take back Caris LeVert and both the Bucks own 2027 second plus the worst of Dallas/Brooklyn's second. Finally a trade had perfect timing for the Gyro Step, so Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti broke down the deal and why they like it before moving onto cover the California Classic summer league. They go deep on Brayden Burries' debut on Monday night plus cover other key summer league players like Bogoljub Markovic and Kam Jones, and then preview the Las Vegas Summer League starting Friday.

Including why the Jaylen Brown trade shows Milwaukee made the right decision taking Miami's offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Milwaukee Bucks have been busy since drafting Brayden Burries and Nate Ament! Milwaukee added another pair of prospects by trading into the last pick of the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft to select Malique Lewis and signed Rafael Castro to a two-way contract right after the draft. Then ahead of NBA free agency opening on Tuesday night player and team options were due on Gary Trent Jr., Gary Harris, Taurean Prince, Kevin Porter Jr., Jericho Sims, and Andre Jackson Jr. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti sat down on Monday to recap it all, plus Ti apologized to Nate Ament. After going through the Bucks suddenly over-filled roster, they then shared their favorite free agent targets outside of Ousmane Dieng. Top targets include Jonathan Kuminga and Tari Eason.

The Milwaukee Bucks stuck and picked in the 2026 NBA Draft, selecting Brayden Burries at 10 and Nate Ament at 13. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti reacted live on the Gyro Step draft show, sharing their excitement about a solid Burries pick and skepticism of Ament even at a pretty reasonable draft position relative to his stock. This version is edited down from the full YouTube stream as the hosts thought Milwaukee could trade into the late first but ultimately the Bucks didn't.

The Milwaukee Bucks actually did it, sending Giannis Antetokounmpo (and Bobby Portis) to the Miami Heat in exchange for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Kasparas Jakucionis, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and multiple draft picks including the 13th overall pick. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti jumped on to instantly react to the gut punch of seeing Giannis traded and then take a more pragmatic look at the return in the trade and where the Bucks go from here to win games again.  GSPN's Bucks podcasts are presented by PrizePicks – Go to PrizePicks.com/Gyrostep and use code GYROSTEP for a $50 bonus when you play $5 for the first time!

The Milwaukee Bucks have the 10th overall pick in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft and rumor has it they expect to have more picks by draft night. To get an expert take on the prospects available throughout the lottery and outside of it, Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti welcomed Ryan Hammer to the podcast to throw him options and get his perspective.  They start with all of the guards who Milwaukee could take: Darius Acuff, Labaron Philon, Keaton Wagler, Kingston Flemings, Brayden Burries, and Mikel Brown Jr. Then jump around to some wing and big options, including a surprise Hannes Steinbach shout from Ryan as a great option for Milwaukee if the guards are all gone, plus some love for Christian Anderson as a guard who could be available later in the first round.  Check out Ryan's work on YouTube and across social media:  @RyanHammer9  GSPN's Bucks podcasts are presented by PrizePicks – Go to PrizePicks.com/Gyrostep and use code GYROSTEP for a $50 bonus when you play $5 for the first time!

The landscape of the NBA (not to mention the rules of the league's draft!) have changed since the last time the Gyro Step hosts broke down potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trades. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti decided to spice it up by drafting the top realistic returns in a potential Giannis trade IF it happens and boy was that a bad decision for Ti who drafted poorly and realized it mid-pod.  Teams discussed include the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics ... and the Clippers and Kings?!

The Milwaukee Bucks have more dumb drama happening after Myles Turner said Giannis Antetokounmpo was always late and Bobby Portis wondered if it was AI. Does any of this mean anything? No, but also yes.  Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti cover that before getting to a bunch of NBA Draft news and notes, including a report that the Bucks are operating as if they'll have multiple first round picks, the NBA Combine measurements and drills, and scouting reports on two more prospects: Dailyn Swain and Karim Lopez.

The Milwaukee Bucks didn't hit their three percent chance of getting a top four pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, but at least they didn't fall to 11 or worse either! Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss the Bucks getting the 10th pick as expected and some other NBA Draft Lottery fallout on this week's Gyro Step before diving into another pair of draft prospect scouting reports on Yaxel Lendeborg and Nate Ament, a pair of wings with wildly different circumstances coming into the draft.

The Milwaukee Bucks have their new head coach already, as the team is reportedly hiring Taylor Jenkins! The news comes less than two weeks after the Bucks season ended and Doc Rivers stepped down, meaning the Bucks identified their guy and landed him early before other jobs opened up.  Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed the news, why they like the Jenkins hire and what happened with his Memphis tenure, the Bucks not casting a wide net in their search, whether Giannis Antetokounmpo was present for the second meeting (he definitely was), and more.

Milwaukee Bucks 2026 NBA Draft prep picks up this Monday with a scouting report on Darius Acuff Jr. who caused both Gyro Step hosts to reconsider how they feel about small guards and positional value because he is that damn good.  Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti start the episode with some Bucks and NBA news including mostly skipping discussing another Giannis Antetokounmpo interview, Doc Rivers returning to his true calling of being a podcaster, and the new Trail Blazers owner being insanely cheap. Then they cover Acuff's scouting report and share their updated big boards with the first five players they've scouted. With no Bucks on the plan is to add THREE new guards next week, so stay tuned.

Both the Doc Rivers tenure and Milwaukee Bucks 2025-26 season ended on Sunday, thank goodness. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti jumped on the pod right after the Doc news broke to discuss him finally being gone including the weird phrasing of the announcement and his hilarious quote on departing, plus the season being over finally.  They also reviewed Bucks Stock Market biggest risers and fallers and Cormac Ryan's emergence. Finally, the scouting report series continues with Caleb Wilson, a toolsy forward who in a lot of ways is the opposite of Cameron Boozer.

The Milwaukee Bucks continue to be a sloppy mess on and off the court. The Bucks lost to both the Nets and Pistons this week which is good for their draft position, but the Giannis Antetokounmpo situation continues to hang over everything else. The latest updates come from Bucks GM Jon Horst doing a Q&A with local media, which hosts Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti break down in depressing detail.

Absolutely LOADED Gyro Step podcast today as Ti WIndisch and Rohan Katti start with the Giannis Antetokounmpo vs the Milwaukee Bucks injury squabble turning into a full-blown NBA investigation that Giannis called for. Ti and Rohan walk through everything that's happened so far, whether the Bucks will be punished, and then dive into how disappointing this whole season has been with both Giannis and the Bucks letting themselves and each other down.  They then take 2 minutes to discuss Cormac Ryan continuing to play quite well, before diving into a report that stated Doc Rivers may be transitioning out of the head coaching role in Milwaukee with Taylor Jenkins a name to watch. Ti shared another name to watch, but mostly he and Rohan just exhaled in relief at Doc likely not being the Bucks coach anymore.  Finally, the hosts close with their optimistic Cameron Boozer takes. Maybe he's not as modern as the top two prospects, but if the Bucks jumped and could take Boozer Rohan and Ti would be thrilled.

The Milwaukee Bucks played a shockingly fun back-to-back this week, routing the Dallas Mavericks before pushing the Houston Rockets to the brink despite all of Ryan Rollins, Kyle Kuzma, and Myles Turner sitting out and Gary Trent Jr. getting hurt in the first half.  Ousmane Dieng was the stand-out star in Houston, outplaying Kevin Durant and posting a career high scoring game despite a tough night shooting beyond the arc. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed how encouraging the Ous game was and how much he might make this summer before diving into a couple other standouts including Pete Nance, Cormac Ryan, and Jericho Sims.

The Milwaukee Bucks seem to have fully embraced the tank, ruling out not just Giannis Antetokounmpo but most of their usual rotation against the Clippers on Sunday. Will Milwaukee win another game, and what did we see from players like Gary Trent Jr. and Jericho Sims on Sunday? Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti answer those questions and give an update on the Bucks draft pick outlook via Tankathon before diving into their second 2026 NBA Draft segment: is Darryn Peterson going to save or doom whichever franchise drafts him? There are some concerning questions, but the upside is clear too. Also, why is nobody talking about the fact that the 2026 NBA Draft day is still TBD?!?

The Milwaukee Bucks played against the Soviet Union in a historic tournament back in 1987. The story of that tournament and the central character who made it happen and helped introduce the greatest international players in the world to the NBA, culminating in players like Giannis Antetokounmpo being the league's brightest stars, was told by Bucks+ in a great podcast series.  Ti Windisch sat down with Monis Khan, editor-in-chief of Bucks+, to ask a bunch of questions about Bucks vs the World, including editing and production decisions, working with Charlie Berens as the narrator, the best interviews and craziest moments, and more. Be sure to listen to Bucks vs the World wherever you listen to podcasts! The Bucks house band in the 1980s was called Streetlife, formerly Sweetbottom, for those wondering.

The Milwaukee Bucks got thumped by the Portland Trail Blazers late on Wednesday night but we're leaving here with something: Ryan Rollins bounced back from a 2/8 start to record a career-high 36 points, and Andre Jackson Jr. suddenly decided to start trying to poster dunk all over centers when he has the ball which is a HUGE development for him.  Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss the play of those two in particular before diving into the team waiving Cam Thomas to sign Pete Nance to a great value deal, and quickly covering the dumb Giannis Antetokounmpo drama from a NBPA statement this week.

The Milwaukee Bucks won without Giannis Antetokounmpo over the weekend, beating the Phoenix Suns on the back of a gutsy Ryan Rollins performance. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti break down Rollins' game, Gary Trent Jr.'s re-emergence into Milwaukee's rotation, the strong play of Kyle Kuzma, and more about the win over the Suns on the latest Gyro Step. They then start their 2026 NBA Draft scouting report series with AJ Dybantsa, who both hosts agree is the best prospect in the draft and a uniquely great fit on this Bucks roster.

The Milwaukee Bucks seem to have finally drawn a line in the sand with Giannis Antetokounmpo, as Bucks owner Wes Edens bluntly stated the organization will have to trade Giannis if he doesn't extend his contract this offseason. Ti Windisch breaks down why this is a big deal even if that should have been an obvious approach and then highlights why he thinks the Bucks loss to the Utah Jazz last night was the new low point for the Doc Rivers Bucks.

The Milwaukee Bucks surprisingly stuck with the Cleveland Cavaliers for 48 minutes on Tuesday night, ultimately losing but seeing strong performances from most young players on the roster in the process.  Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti open by discussing the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo is out at least a week with a knee hyperextension and bone bruise before talking about some of the standout Bucks in this game: Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins, Ousmane Dieng, and PETE NANCE!

Giannis Antetokounmpo nearly posted a triple-double in the Milwaukee Bucks win against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday but tweaked his knee on a dunk. Giannis says its hyperextended and that he doesn't need imaging, but the Bucks are crazy if they let him play with any sort of issue in his knees, calf, or anywhere else really. Ti Windisch and the triumphantly returned Rohan Katti break down the need to protect Giannis from himself and the recent surge for Ryan Rollins being a rare bright spot for the Bucks before going down rabbit holes in Bucks history, including which franchise legends have the best chance of scoring as much as Bam Adebayo did this week plus which Bucks have had the most win shares in franchise history. They also celebrated Taurean Prince's return and were wowed by Jericho Sims' accuracy.

The Milwaukee Bucks had a fun first half against the Phoenix Suns before a second half meltdown that saw franchise star Giannis Antetokounmpo seemingly unable to move defensively. Gyro Step host Ti Windisch welcomed Bucks_Breakdown, cohost of the Bucks University pod and Twitter film clip expert, to discuss the weird post-injury Giannis half and a ton more.

The Milwaukee Bucks split a weekend back-to-back, winning against the Utah Jazz on Saturday with Giannis Antetokounmpo playing and getting smoked the next night vs the Orlando Magic with Giannis out. Ti Windisch went solo pod mode to break down the performances over the weekend, with Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, and Myles Turner struggling, and the injury updates, including Kevin Porter Jr.'s knee swelling getting an official name and Kyle Kuzma sitting out Sunday with a scary sounding contusion.  What's the point of watching the Bucks given it seems they're stuck between reaching a play-in spot and getting a top 5-7 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft?

The Milwaukee Bucks organization needs a fresh start from the current front office and coaching leadership, as the lack of cohesion between Jon Horst's moves and Doc Rivers' coaching continues to plague Milwaukee even with Giannis Antetokounmpo back in action.  Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed the latest brutal loss at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks, a crucial game for play-in standings, plus agree the Bucks are not shadow tanking. They also cover how Giannis looked in the Atlanta game vs the Boston one when he returned on Monday, Doc's insane huge lineups, Ousmane Dieng's emergence and more.

The Milwaukee Bucks got outscored 69-31 in the second half against a Chicago Bulls team that took an entire calendar month off of winning basketball games to blow a double digit lead in Chicago and fall three games behind the play-in picture.  Suffice it to say Ti WIndisch and Rohan Katti were not thrilled by this result. They ranted about every single Buck coming off as losers in the embarrassing display and how Doc Rivers has lost the team in yet another game. Jon Horst was not spared some blame either.  Finally, they discussed the signing of Cormac Ryan to a two-way contract and went through some stats from the early Bud years just to feel something.

The Milwaukee Bucks swept their back-to-back this week against the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers, and a huge part of both wins was Jericho Sims who has been crushing it. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss Sims and the wins after an all-over-the-place first segment including TV and Dominayton, and also agree that the Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins backcourt just seems to work. They also criticize coaching, as is tradition.

The Milwaukee Bucks took care of business against some bad and shorthanded teams recently but couldn't keep that streak alive against a Toronto Raptors squad without franchise player Scottie Barnes, losing handily at home with most of the roster unable to operate vs Toronto's ball pressure. Kevin Porter Jr. was the one exception, but KPJ couldn't lift the Bucks offense by himself. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed the dispiriting loss and how it sets them up to dread how Milwaukee may look in a tough week of games against the Heat, Cavaliers, and Knicks this week. They also debate when Giannis Antetokounmpo will return. To close the episode, Ti and Rohan discuss Wayne Embry and all that he accomplished as a player, basketball decision maker, and business executive as Black History Month comes to a close. Embry is a true trail blazer and a Bucks icon who certainly deserves all of the honors he has received and then some, and someone who every Bucks fan should know about.

NBA expansion has been a hot topic around the Association this month and we could be getting new teams in the next few years. If the Milwaukee Bucks had to protect eight players this summer, which seven plus Giannis Antetokounmpo should Jon Horst prioritize? Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti debate the selections on this Gyro Step, and also cover some more uncomfortable Giannis quotes from Euro Hoops. Yes, they are still protecting him from the expansion draft even if the quotes are getting old! Unsurprisingly, Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis were big topics of discussion given their polarizing play and league-wide value.

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't play in the All-Star game this year, but Giannis still impacted the entire weekend. Unlike some other stars, Giannis embraces being a face of the league and he and his sons were a fixture on the court and in some fun media moments including exchanges with Damian Lillard, Steph Curry, Shams Charania, and the officials. Also, the actual game and events this year were mostly good! Even if the 200 influencers didn't actually influence anybody and Bobby Portis ended up taking last in the three-point shootout.Also for whatever reason Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti brought a ton of food takes to this week's episode. I guess this is what a long weekend and no Bucks basketball until Friday does to you.

The Milwaukee Bucks won two straight games going into the NBA All-Star Break, both on the road against the Orlando Magic and Oklahoma City Thunder. Milwaukee's new players were the biggest factors, with Cam Thomas pouring it in vs Orlando and Ousmane Dieng leading a balanced Bucks attack that dominated the Thunder on Thursday.Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed how Dieng has filled the wing need that Milwaukee has struggled with since Khris Middleton's injury decline, the coaching staff correctly utilizing Thomas in a sixth man role, the improved passing and defense the younger Bucks have displayed, and how Milwaukee could make a run into the meat of the Eastern Conference play-in race with Giannis Antetokounmpo returning soon. Plus Ti proposes a solution to tanking and the hosts cover Bobby Portis' three-point contest hopes.

The Milwaukee Bucks kept their strong play rolling for the first half against the Orlando Magic on Monday but fell apart in the third quarter and ultimately got blown out. Cam Thomas made his Bucks debut and so did Ousmane Dieng, and Bobby Portis recorded zero rebounds before talking about the importance of rebounding as a team after the game.Ti Windisch was joined by Justin Garcia of the Bucks Radio Network and Locked on Bucks podcast to discuss the loss to Orlando, the Bucks somewhat odd deadline moves, them buying into Milwaukee's play-in push after the three-game win streak, and Milwaukee's overall lack of a cohesive identity. Also happy birthday Bobby Portis, sorry about the rant timing!

The Milwaukee Bucks had a snoozer of an NBA Trade Deadline, acquiring Ousmane Dieng and Nigel Hayes-Davis for Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey, but that didn't deter Giannis Antetokounmpo from posting the "I'm not *bleeping* leaving" scene from Wolf of Wall Street right after the deadline passed! Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti react to Giannis' post and decode what it really means, plus talk about the low impact trade the Bucks made and their disappointment with the lack of assets Milwaukee gathered. Then they broke down what if anything to expect from Dieng, buyout options like Cam Thomas, Haywood Highsmith, and Khris Middleton, and some of the other wild trades around the NBA.

The Milwaukee Bucks leapt out to a 12-0 lead vs the Boston Celtics on Sunday and then got smoked for the next 45 minutes, losing 107-79 in the latest lifeless display of basketball. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss if and when the Bucks will actually win another basketball game and the one bright spot generally and on Sunday, Ryan Rollins. With the NBA Trade Deadline on Thursday, there's also a ton of trade slop to cover. Ti and Rohan discuss the two non-Bucks trades that took place over the weekend before covering new rumors. We heard that Giannis' camp would like a trade to happen pre-deadline, that the Bucks are submitting counter-offers to teams chasing Giannis, and that Milwaukee is also looking into taking bad contracts in exchange for draft picks.

The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly listening to trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo for the first time ever. With Giannis also open to a new home, does this mean that the Bucks will lose their homegrown superstar in the next six days? For once, Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti do not agree. The Gyro Step cohosts go through the background and reporting in great detail first, breaking down every proposed Giannis suitor and whether they could realistically swing a trade for the Greek Freak. Then Ti and Rohan debate if Giannis will actually be moved in the next six days before Thursday's deadline.

The Milwaukee Bucks couldn't defend the Philadelphia 76ers at all on Tuesday night, losing 139-122 despite a Bucks-high 31 points from Myles Turner. The loss was productive at least, as it rose Milwaukee to seventh on the tank standings, all but guaranteeing a top 10 pick for the Bucks.  Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti broke down some choice quotes after the game, all of which painted Doc Rivers in a bad light. Quote topics include being unable to guard Paul George in 2026, for not involving Turner, and for slandering Giannis Antetokounmpo indirectly. They then discussed the mentality challenge of rooting for losses, seeing players succeed offensively, rooting for Ryan Rollins development, and more.

The Milwaukee Bucks will likely be without Giannis Antetokounmpo for several more weeks, although we're still waiting on actual MRI results on his self-diagnosed calf strain. Regardless, the silver lining of another injury to Giannis is the clarity it offers the Bucks on their current situation: Milwaukee needs to embrace the gap year they've been thrust into. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti clarify what that means: not obsessing over every win when a loss would help the Bucks lottery position, but instead trying to use the trade deadline to gain draft assets and maximizing minutes for young players or those under contract for future seasons. Adding a top 10 pick plus any other future assets will put the Bucks in the best position possible to retool around Giannis -- or to rebuild without him.

The Milwaukee Bucks went down by 20 in the first quarter at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder and ended up losing by the same margin, prompting Giannis Antetokounmpo to refer to his teammates as playing "selfish" after the game. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti dissect Giannis' latest comments and discuss what was a wacky rotation by Doc Rivers, including Gary Harris starting and then just not playing again following Milwaukee's rough first quarter. They go over some troubling numbers and why its not just the faults of players like Ryan Rollins and Kyle Kuzma that the offense is off, but also connected to the Bucks' archaic offense.

The Milwaukee Bucks snapped their ugly losing streak on Monday on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, beating the Atlanta Hawks 112-110 despite holding a 23-point lead at one point. Still, with Giannis Antetokounmpo's usual greatness plus a spark from Pete Nance, Doc Rivers managed to pull some levers. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed the new-look starting five, which featured Kyle Kuzma in for Kevin Porter Jr., plus Nance getting Gary Trent Jr.'s minutes which helped the bench actually outperform the starters for once. They also did a random Thon Maker deep dive, because why not.

The Milwaukee Bucks have a lot of problems as evidenced by their thrashing by a Minnesota Timberwolves team without Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert on Tuesday night, but the biggest and easiest to solve is finding a new head coach. Doc Rivers seemed to lose the team entirely on Tuesday and has no answer to the non-Giannis Antetokounmpo minutes, citing dead legs and a tough travel schedule as reasons for the loss. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti walk through just how bad things have gotten for the Bucks, their answer for who should be coach if/when Rivers is fired, wonder why there isn't more buzz about him being on the hot seat, and then discuss how sad it is for Giannis to get boo'd and for fans to earnestly believe the Bucks should trade him because they're so far from contention.

The Milwaukee Bucks didn't get enough contributions outside of Giannis Antetokounmpo on Sunday night, losing to a Denver Nuggets team down four starters and remaining firmly outside of the Eastern Conference Play-In. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed the dispiriting loss and how Kevin Porter Jr and Ryan Rollins in particular struggled before getting to the latest NBA trade rumors, this time from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Jim Owczarski, involving the Bucks interest in Ja Morant and Zach LaVine. Could Morant, despite his poor shooting, help the Bucks win more or at least stay afloat in the non-Giannis minutes? Plus if the Bucks do trade for a guard, how will they fill out their wing rotation?

Giannis Antetokounmpo affirmed his commitment to the Milwaukee Bucks in a great interview with The Athletic's Sam Amick this week, declaring his intention to stay with the Bucks for the rest of his career and stating he will never ask for a trade and never has. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti react to his full comments, reflecting on why these mean more than other quotes Giannis gave on being locked in earlier in the season, and parse through his praise of Kyle Kuzma and comments on the Bucks need to be more selfless.
