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.
