1. Giannis Antetokounmpo

Make no mistake about it, the NBA is a superstar driven league. That’s why LeBron James has been able to carry his team to the NBA Finals for so long. Heck, the Golden State Warriors have two of the very best players in NBA history on their team just to take James down.

Hence why Antetokounmpo is the No. 1 reason why the Bucks are NBA Finals’ contenders.

At only 23-years-old, Antetokounmpo is still a couple of years away from his prime. However, he’s gotten scary good scary fast. The improvement in his game very season is extremely evident and tangible. He’s highly likely to not only take another step forward in 2018-19, but a big one at that.

Even with all of the talent around Antetokounmpo, he will shoulder a big load in Milwaukee. The Bucks can only go as far as he takes them. Good thing he has extremely broad shoulders to handle the expectations.
