Most NBA basketball teams, every season, try to put together a competitive roster, which allows them to go as far as possible in the season, within their possibilities of course, others simply bet everything to go all out for the championship, and while others, go slowly, building a roster for years, working in the long term to achieve the same goal, The case I am going to tell you next is about the Milwaukee Bucks team, who for this campaign, have bet everything and have formed a "Big three" or great trio, which does not intend anything other than achieving top honors, they are Damian Lillard, the already old known Giannis Antetokounpo, and Brook Lopez, three scorers who are doing their thing, and not with anything.
DAMIAN LILLARD
For some time I saw the departure of this player from the Portland Trail Blazers to another team, and well in the dead season has become a reality, the arrival to this team of the Bucks of this player, has added perhaps what really needed the Wisconsin team, I don't mean to say that the previous ones weren't, but Damian's talent is too outstanding to say that he is just one more, the management has found what they were looking for and I think they are already seeing the results.

Damian is the prototype of the player that can complete a great trio that can take you to a championship, because he is that man that is extremely offensive, is good at setting up the game and attacks the rim in a particular way, that completes the attributes that were missing for the Bucks, that since about 3 seasons ago, they did not have so much success, I mean the word success, because in the current season, they look like favorites, and not only that, they are proving it, and that is thanks in its entirety to Lillard, who has fit very well with the pieces that the team already has, generating a very positive overall balance.
GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO
For the second week in a row I have to refer to this player, it is almost impossible not to mention what he and his Bucks are doing, his splendorous play on the court reminds me a lot of that season where he reached the title, and even though they still don't totally dominate the "east" conference it's a matter of time before they do it, their group play has achieved good results lately and the best of all and most of them have reached over 100 points every time they face their rivals, something very positive to highlight in a very offensive era.

The fundamental axis of this set is him without a doubt, and his total contribution, is the main testimony of what he is capable of doing, his more than 25 points per night and his physical condition, lead him to be the pillar of the team, is that aggressive way of attacking the rim, set up play and shoot from outside the basket, add something very important to the Bucks, He also has the discipline to not get injured, something that the Bucks have done very well, being this the key to stay in the top of the league, and even more, with the new formats in the competition.
BROOK LÓPEZ
Like everything else and for there to be a balance in something, all the necessary elements have to come together for that something to work in an optimal way, and that is precisely what Brook Lopez is doing to provide the complement, so that this machinery of making points works well, now in a more leading role, this guy with more years of experience in the league, brings a fundamental part to the Bucks team that I would divide it into 2, and it is the height to take the rebounds, and make points in an easier way, and more imbalance in the paint, since now he is more agile attacking the hoop.

This feature in him is phenomenal, because it is a contribution not so much in numbers, which is, what perhaps we all see, but it is a kind of support Giannis, is to have that element that you know you will not be wrong, taking advantage of the height he possesses, proof of this the 39 points he scored against Washington last November 24, amount that represents quality and quantity and a very high percentage, ensuring points in the paint area, very important location and for a long time within this game.
UN NUEVO TRIDENTE.? | A NEW BIG THREE.?
After knowing the characteristics of these three players, comes an obligatory question, are we in the presence of a new trident that dominates the NBA? And the answer is yes, just look at the ascending order that they have been taking in the win-loss records and the performances they have had together, and the thing is very clear, their offensive power is very noticeable and seems to be constant over time towards an imminent classification to the postseason, and are firm candidates for the title, hasty or not my opinion, there is very clear evidence of this and we can make that statement.
One thing you also have to look at is their tendency to be consistent, something very visible to everyone was what happened on the aforementioned November 24, when between the three of them, they set an all-time record for the Bucks franchise, scoring 101 points between the three of them, representing 80% of the team's points, something that seems only seen that day, but I dare to say that this trend will continue, and we will see more nights like this, having players in your team that surpass 30 points every night is more than a luxury, this can only be achieved by the aspiring champions.
