Ace In The Sleeve

Ladies and gentlemen it is official- Khris Middleton is a cold-blooded gunslinger.

This dude has been SPECIAL for the Bucks throughout their epic playoff run that has them seeking just one final victory in a possible two, to become World Champions. The Bucks' path has been paved by the efforts of a bad, bad man. Khris "he ain't it" Middleton. The man "holding back" Giannis... well its enough with all that! Middleton has been balling, and has put the Bucks on his back in the most dire and clutch of circumstances throughout this chase for O'Brien.

Giannis has been absolutely fantastic on all ends across most of the NBA Finals but lets not forget about how he played throughout the first 2 series in the playoffs, lets not forget about Middleton saving the Bucks over and over again to get to game six of The Finals. Milwaukee was on the ropes and facing possible eliminations early in the playoffs when they ran into the red hot Hawks & the Slim Reaper, but that is when Klutch Khris is at his best- when his team needs him the most.

Middleton is sick of the disrespect and has decided to shut everyone up on the biggest stage. It was the game-winner against the Miami Heat, the dual 30+ point games when the Bucks were down 2-0 and 3-2 to the Brooklyn Nets, keeping that second-round series alive, a 38-point performance in Game 3 of the Conference Finals against the Atlanta Hawks to take a 2-1 lead, and a 32-point outing to put away those Hawks in Game 6. Then Klutch Khris outscored the entire Suns lineup, 10-4, in the final 2 minutes and 15 seconds of game 4 of The Finals.

Middleton was scoring these points in big time situations and in tough fashion. Shots in which are second nature to him: fadeaway midrange jumper, step-back 3-pointer, dribble penetration into an acrobatic finish at the basket, even some shots that looked to be out of luck– such as a step-through, one-handed desperation heave in the lane after going under his defender; nothing but net. All his shots are usually nothing but net. His confidence and improvement as a scorer is a scene to watch in these electric playoffs. Seeing Middleton respond to all the critics and all the people who said he was an anchor to Giannis and the Bucks' chances on a ring... oh how the tides have turned.

Khris has 15 field goals to tie or take the lead in the fourth quarter or overtime this postseason, which is tied with LeBron James (2007) for the most in a single playoff run in the past 25 years.

Khris Middleton has been on a whole 'notha level and is one of the pivotal reasons the Bucks have an opportunity to close things out in their home and win the NBA championship for the first time since 1971. They contiue to have a major tough test against the Suns and better bet on the Point God and 616 Booker going ALL OUT in game 6 in Milwaukee and a possible game 7 classic to be in Phoenix. What a series it has been and mostly; what a damn player Khris Middleton has been. The cold-blooded gunslinger wants his damn respect and wants that ring. The Bucks have found their ace in the sleeve. Suns or Bucks? Who wants it more? Lets go!
