Giannis Antetokounmpo is on fire to start the 2025-26 NBA season, leading the Milwaukee Bucks to a 3-1 start. The two-time MVP has been vocal about wanting to win at the highest level again, so this isn't too surprising.

All NBA teams depend on their stars, but the Milwaukee Bucks are relying on Giannis Antetokounmpo now more than ever. The two-time MVP is second in the association with 36.3 points per game and third with 14 rebounds a night after their 121-111 win over the New York Knicks on Tuesday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 37 points and 14 rebounds, and the Milwaukee Bucks never trailed in a 133-120, season-opening victory over the Washington Wizards.

The Sacramento Kings fell down early to the Milwaukee Bucks, but climbed back into the game and got their first win in the state since 2015.

Giannis' proclamation had a lot of Milwaukee fans reading into it ... especially with the team it came against.

As the NBA world heard the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo was a last-minute scratch just before Thursday night’s game because of left knee soreness, the consensus from many was that the Golden State Warriors would cruise to a victory against an undermanned team playing without one of the best players in the game.
