This week on Hear District, Marques & Kris Johnson welcome Evan Cohen (ESPN Radio’s UnSportsmanLike) to break down the Milwaukee Bucks’ under-the-radar outlook for the 2025–26 season. They discuss which offseason moves set the Bucks up for another 50-win run, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s EuroBasket bronze medal with Greece, and why he called it his greatest achievement. Evan also reflects on Kris’ historic UCLA days, the importance of draft position, underrated NBA teams that never won a title, and his journey through sports radio.

Bronze for Greece is like Gold for USA..Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo best player on the team and still is making improvements on his game. Just look at Greece's roster… Youd have to be from there to understand what they feel.. Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo is just a one of a kind player!!
Seems like no one really mentions KPJ in the way I want them to, Just so massively underrated and will be a big story for the bucks in the middle of the season, Many people will jump on the train and say they seen it coming and I just won’t want to hear it
I truly believe this bucks team is even better than what's on paper. I didnt feel this way when Dame was with us. It felt like we were never living up to expectations and potential. Lots of people are going to be surprised by the impact turner and a starting kpj will have.
