A big thank you must go to the NBA's PR department for allowing the media some fantastic access to the players ahead of Thursday's Bucks-Knicks matchup in London. I tended to stay away from the huge crowds surrounding Jason Kidd and Giannis Antetokounmpo, and instead opted for chasing after some of the younger players.

I also had a fantastic sit down chat with Bucks assistant Greg Foster who came across as a very smart guy. To stay up to date with the rest of the Bucks trip in London follow me @JPlowright_NBA.
