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.

Bobby Portis joins Hear District ahead of the 2025-26 season to talk Bucks basketball, leadership, and life. The fan-favorite forward opens up about his journey from Little Rock to Milwaukee — and the lessons that shaped his game, mindset, and purpose. He shares how being raised by a single mother and grandparents fueled his drive, how early NBA challenges built his resilience, and what made Milwaukee the perfect fit when he joined the Bucks in 2021 — including the story of how he personally called Giannis to pitch himself as a free agent. Bobby reflects on the Bucks’ 2021 championship run, the roots of his underdog mentality, and stepping into a veteran leadership role on a younger, energized roster. He also shares his excitement for a rejuvenated team under Doc Rivers — and why he believes Milwaukee now has one of the deepest benches in basketball.
