The Milwaukee Bucks are currently being given the 15th best odds of winning the 2026 NBA championship despite the presence of perennial MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo on their roster. Antetokounmpo, however, believes in the Bucks’ ability to be a challenging team to play against.
“We’re not the favorites,” Antetokounmpo said Sunday. “But we’re going to be a problem. We’re going to be dangerous. The team is set up in a way that is very, very dangerous.
“We have a lot of shooters. We have a lot of playmakers and ballhandlers. We have a lot of defenders. We can switch. We have an incredible big (Myles Turner) that can space the floor and be a problem defensively. We are set up exactly how you need to make a statement. But our goal is Wednesday. After that, stay healthy and get to the playoffs, be in the playoffs and try to win a playoff series.”
After two seasons with an Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard core, they are retooling around Antetokounmpo, Myles Turner and a collection of shooters.
