WHAT CAME ABOUT?
On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks’ great forward was the talk of the game, even though he only scored 32 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, gave out 8 assists, and blocked 2 shots in a 144-122 win over the failing Brooklyn Nets. The best part of the game was when he talked to the Real Madrid front line.
