Three reasons to believe in Giannis and the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021

Heading into the 2020 NBA offseason, especially after a disaster in the 2020 NBA playoffs in which they lost in the second round to the eventual Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat, all eyes were on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

And, for the most part, the offseason got off to a great start for both. Giannis has said all the right things in interviews and the Bucks added Jrue Holiday among other rotation pieces thus far in the offseason.

Aside from a botched sign-and-trade deal for Bogdan Bogdanovic, the Bucks have had an ideal offseason. So much so that there is a growing belief that Giannis will sign his super-max extension before the deadline in December.

That said, there are still many that are quick to doubt the Bucks heading into the 2020-21 season. Despite still being arguably the most talented team in the Eastern Conference, the Bucks still have plenty to prove heading into the new season.

Is Mike Budenholzer the right man for the job? Will Giannis be able to take his game to the next level? Will the Jrue Holiday acquisition be enough to carry this team over the top in the East?

While many questions surround this team, we explore three reasons why you should believe in Giannis and the Milwaukee Bucks heading into the 2020-21 season.
