Marques and Kris Johnson sit down with Dan Devine of Yahoo Sports to break down the Milwaukee Bucks’ early-season surge — and how Ryan Rollins went from three teams in three years to one of the NBA’s most surprising storylines. They dive into his breakout, future role, how he fits when Kevin Porter Jr. returns, and what comes next in his development.
Dan offers a national perspective on Milwaukee’s depth, the Rollins–Cole Anthony backcourt, the Giannis–Myles Turner connection, Bobby Portis’ evolving role, and his Big Question for the Bucks. The crew also examines how Doc Rivers is fine-tuning rotations, balancing the second unit, and shaping the team’s new identity.
Plus — Marques’ viral call on Giannis’ monster dunk, the legendary game-winner that followed, stories of clutch moments, why 34's jumper looks so good this year, and a video breakdown of Doc’s signature double-big screen that’s helping the Bucks exploit defenses.
It’s basketball IQ, culture, and conversation — the Hear District way.

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’ UCLA days, the importance of draft position, underrated NBA teams that never won a title, and his journey through sports radio. Later, Van Fayaz & Jackson Gross of Brew Hoop join #BucksPodFest to talk Bucks’ offseason moves, standout players to watch, Wisconsin’s big summer in sports, and how AI is reshaping sports media.
