The Milwaukee Bucks won 15 games last season. 15 games into this season the Bucks already have eight wins under their belt. Watching the team win is certainly a reason for the fans to be thankful, but there are several other things for them to be excited about. Here are the top five reasons for Bucks fans to be thankful.

5. The Brandon Jennings Trade

Milwaukee dominated the Brandon Jennings trade. Getting Brandon Knight for a fraction of the price as well as getting Khris Middleton has been great for the Bucks. Those kinds of trades don't always work out this well, and for that the Milwaukee fans should be thankful.

Larry Sanders is currently healthy and on the court for Milwaukee, and that is enough reason for fans to be thankful. Now, he hasn't been that great yet, but he has shown some flashes recently to remind everyone how freakishly athletic he is.

Having a young player like Jabari Parker to build around is so critical in the NBA. He is still figuring things out at the pro level, but it doesn't look he will be a bust. Knowing that you have a cornerstone piece like that does so much for a franchise, because it makes the path to winning much clearer.

2. The Greek Freak

Giannis Antetokounmpo is still just 19 years old. He was the No. 15 pick overall in the 2013 draft and would be the No. 1 overall pick if that draft was redone. The Greek Freak just simply does things on a basketball court that most people wouldn't even think were possible. The chance to watch that 82 times a year is definitely a reason to give thanks.

The most obvious reason for Bucks fans to be thankful is that the team is still located in Milwaukee. There have been rumblings in the past few years about a possible relocation, but as of now it seems that the long-term plan is to keep the Bucks in Milwaukee.
