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.

Renowned podcaster & columnist, Zach Lowe joins Marques & Kris Johnson on this week's episode of Hear District to dissect the Milwaukee Bucks' hot start to the season, Giannis Antetokounmpo's path to a third MVP trophy and the team's Playoff possibilities in a wide-open Eastern Conference.
But first, they discuss the untraditional path that led Zach to NBA coverage and how his New England roots inspired his love of the game. They dissect the criteria for MVP, and why Giannis has as good a chance as ever to compete for the trophy. They also delve into Ryan Rollins' rise, why Cole Anthony is an X-Factor for this team, Bobby Portis' grit, Myles Turner's fit with Milwaukee, and why Zach has always been a fan of Gary Trent Jr.
They also touch on the Eastern Conference Playoff picture, Victor Wembanyama's ascension, massive scoring performances to start the NBA season and trends around the league.
