Meanwhile Giannis with 41/20/6, Bucks win yet again.

In 35 minutes no less, scoring close to half of his team's points in the process with Middleton out and taking over in crunch time with fadeaways and elite defensive play.

The win total is one thing, but the net rating of this team is otherwordly, all the stats compare to 96 Bulls & '16 Warriors, except Giannis doesn't have multiple All-Star teammates or a 2nd guy who's as good as Klay or Pippen, though Middleton is as good, if not better than '16 Klay Thompson offensively right now. Bucks are 9 - 0 without Khris, they beat Utah, OKC & Indy without him, biggest win of the season against the Thunder with him out as well.

lol Middleton is easily as good as any version of Klay. Per 36 he averages 25/8/5 on 63%ts.

Given this, can it be said that khris is somewhat on his prime already?

Giannis needs a Kawhil like playoff run for people to give him full credit for his greatness. Not saying that is fair but playoff success is a big issue for all time greats.

Last year was the first time he really had the chance to get to the finals. Coming up short has obviously fueled him to get better, something i have seen time and again from great players over the years. I expect him to be a beast in the playoffs this year.

He's 28 Roughly the age the vast majority of players are in their prime

Aside from george hill, last season i think not all of the bucks' roster during that time had any experience playing in the nba finals while the raptors had kawhi back then who played twice there with the spurs in 2013 and 2014. I think this also helped propel the raptors past them en route to the finals which also resulted in their first championship since the team's inception in 1995.
