WATCH: Odds On 2022 NBA Championship, Bucks’ Chances To Repeat

ThePostGame looks at circumstances to consider about Milwaukee’s chance at winning the NBA title again in 2021-2022.

The Milwaukee Bucks were crowned the 2020-21 NBA champions thanks to an NBA Finals MVP-earning performance from star PF Giannis Antetokounmpo in their Game 6 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Milwaukee is still celebrating its hard-earned victory, but who is the favorite to win it all in 2022? 

Antetokounmpo scored 50 points in the biggest game of his young career, leading the team that drafted him to its first NBA title in 50 years.

Take a look at how Antetokounmpo’s age compares to other recent NBA Finals MVPs, the contract status of the Bucks’ stars and the odds of Milwaukee winning back-to-back championships. Check BetMGM for the most updated odds.
