Milwaukee's remarkable evolution into NBA finals team with special guests Matt Velazquez and Charles Gardner (07.05.2021)

Author: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel July 5, 2021 Duration: 47:47
Former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Bucks beat reporters Matt Velazquez and Charles Gardner join host JR Radcliffe and current scribe Jim Owczarski to preview the NBA finals and look at the organizational evolution to this historic achievement. They revisit the astonishing 2013 trade for Khris Middleton. Should Mike Budenholzer have been on the hot seat (and is he still there)? What X-factors took a great regular-season team and made it a title-caliber squad? How did Jason Kidd factor into the progress that was made with Giannis Antetokounmpo? Most importantly, can this team beat the Phoenix Suns without a healthy Giannis?

Music intro produced by Olivia Reiner and voiced by Michelle Rutkowski.
