Throughout their history, the Milwaukee Bucks haven’t been the most successful or winningest franchise in the NBA. If anything, they’ve struggled to go far in the playoffs, as it usually happens with small-market teams.
That’s why it’s so refreshing to witness this team going back to the biggest stage. Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday; they have the chance to replicate what Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then known as Lew Alcindor) did decades ago.
The Bucks haven’t exactly been at their best in the NBA Finals. But, to be fair, it’s not like they’ve been there that many times either. That’s why today, we’re going to walk you through the history of this franchise at basketball’s ultimate stage.
