Giannis' Big Summer with Dave McMenamin & Jamal Collier

ESPN NBA reporters Dave McMenamin and Jamal Collier join Marques & Kris on Hear District this week to filter through the noise surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo's summer and explore how the Milwaukee Bucks can best build around him moving forward. They dive deep into Giannis' relationship with Bucks GM Jon Horst and how that dynamic could shape the Bucks' offseason plans, including potential strategies to unleash 'Point Giannis' and set him up for an MVP campaign. They also compare Milwaukee's first-round playoff exit with the Lakers', unpacking why the public narratives around both teams are so different. Plus, there's a look at whether Bronny James has a future as an impact player in the NBA, how Luka Doncic can improve going into next season, and whether Lakers head coach JJ Redick may share more common ground with Bucks head coach Doc Rivers after this year's playoffs. Jamal and Dave also offer insights into how the second apron and the latest CBA are impacting small-market teams like Milwaukee, and why road teams are dominating this year’s NBA Playoffs.
