More: The Milwaukee Bucks' playoff defense has been superb, but the offense might need lineup tweak Lopez has worked with Next Door Milwaukee for several years, and he continued that partnership through this season. The Bucks center wanted to pass that on to others and he donated about $70,000 toward children’s literacy efforts in Milwaukee, which led him being a finalist for the NBA Cares Community Assist Award. It was an important time for Lopez and fostered a love and appreciation for reading that he maintains today - and he’s often seen with a book in hand as he walks to and from stadiums. My happiness is up there.” Brook Lopez finalist for community awardīrook Lopez smiled, thinking back to his childhood reading books with his brother Robin in his grandmother’s home. “Especially my dad, my mom, my friends, every single day trying to connect, trying to (ask) ‘What is Giannis doing? How is he?' I’m so glad. “So many message I have after my debut, after I signed,” he said. "To play in the playoff for the first time in my life, making my debut and just cheer them on, that’s good.”Īs for the response to his first NBA action from back home in Buenos Aires and the whole of Argentina, Vildoza said it was unimaginable for him. To take the corners, to catch and shoot fast, to make plays for them. “That’s gonna be the main goal, to make that role. “But I know with Giannis, he’s the point guard, he’s bringing the ball (up), Jrue (Holiday), Khris (Middleton), and you gotta be ready to shoot every time, to create for them,” he said. Upon joining the Bucks, however, he’s having to adjust his game. He had missed all this season with a foot injury and he said he finally felt like a basketball player again about six months ago.

He has been a professional for 10 years, most recently paying in the Spanish ACB league last season. Vildoza signed with the Bucks on April 6, just days before the end of the regular season. I think there’ a confidence with him that’s important as you’re trying to break through and find your way in our league.” He went out and did exactly what he does in practice. He’s a very creative, imaginative, passer (and) player.

He’s shown us in practice, he’s shown us in play groups he knows how to play. So, for him to get to play in a playoff game and I thought he did well. “We’re excited about him and our front office has had their eye on him. “His story is kind of unique,” Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said. More: 'Shout out Wes, man.' Nobody appreciates Matthews more than his Milwaukee Bucks teammates I think we’re gonna see some great things in the future from him.” Obviously I was very happy for him just to play his first NBA game being a playoff game, but the way he showed how much mature he is as a player, that was unbelievable. When he’s in his comfort zone, when he makes plays, he came out of the pick-and-roll and shot the three very comfortably.
“But at the end of the day, like he had a pass between his legs, a pass behind his back and people would probably say it’s a playoff game, oh, you’re messing around with the game, but that’s how he plays. “That is high-IQ stuff,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said. The 6-foot, 3-inch guard leapt to corral it with his right hand and, in one motion, landed on the Bulls logo at halfcourt and skipped a perfect bounce pass ahead to Jordan Nwora who finished with a dunk of his own.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo came up with a steal in the Chicago backcourt and flipped it behind his back to Vildoza - but it was too high.
But it was Vildoza’s second assist that caught the attention of Giannis Antetokounmpo from the bench.
