Watching this collapse truly puts in perspective how Giannis’ arrival to the Bucks was straight out of a film script

Had 2021 not happened, this would be another log into Milwaukee's sad history in sports after Kareem left. As a Wisconsinite, I'm glad that we've had championships in this century.

And... Who got chills at the end when Seth mentioned future AS Khris Middleton, and future multi-MVP, FMVP, and sure thing HOFer in Giannis? I did

Rock bottom just to back to the top! Giannis really worked hard for his franchise

From Allen to Giannis. I’m here for it. I remember the Bucks in the early 00s but like them more now for obvious reasons.

The good ole days of David Stern's NBA where he used officiating to keep small market teams out of the Finals. Portland, Sacramento, and Milwaukee were the prime examples.

Has George Karl ever gotten along with any team he's coached? Like for a guy who spent all his time around basketball players he didn't seem to like them very much.

When the Bucks won the championship last year (20-21) as the celebrations were starting I said to myself, "thank you John Hammond." It was Hammond who drafted Giannis and traded for Middleton and Hammond having come over from Detroit was a breath of fresh air in a dormant and dismal team. Thanks also to Herb Kohl for keeping the team here, otherwise the Las Vegas Bucks would be NBA world champs.

I’ll always say that the Bucks clearly got screwed in the eastern conference finals in 2001. The league definitely wanted LA vs Philly instead of LA vs lil ol Milwaukee.

This is the THIRD time Sam Cassel has been in a collapse

Herb Kohl did all he could to keep us from becoming Seattle before Seattle became OKC. His stubborness kept Milwaukee an NBA town.

I was born in 2001. This team is my life. I’ve sat through what seemed like an endless spiral. Then one person just fell in our lap and turned our entire franchise around. Great Video

As a lifelong Bucks fan, this perfectly puts in perspective what a once in a lifetime gift from the basketball gods Giannis is. Not to mention the absolute SQUAD this front office has surrounded him with in the form of the GREAT Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton and all the rest.

Cassell played on so many great teams in import roles always. both Rocket chips, this team, 04 T-Wolves, '06 Clippers, '08 Celtics

Although they weren't really talked about here Bogut, Jennings, and Sanders were huge for the development of the culture here in MKE. Bogut paid for a section of the Bradley Center to stand and cheer for the whole game, Jennings popularized the "Fear the Dear" and "Bucks in 6" slogans, and Sanders played with his heart and emotion on his sleeve to one of the best interior defensive seasons. They gave a lot of fans reasons to cheer even when we were suffering as a franchise, and Giannis was the ultimate generational talent to finally give us a championship (since 71), along with his supporting cast.

You could have also included the fact that Darvin Ham was a Buck on that 2001 team, who would later become the head assistant coach on the 2021 team that won it all.

As a Bucks fan, born in the 90s, raised, & still living in Milwaukee to this day, it's been a long journey to get to this point. It sucked watching us lose in 2001 & possibly getting cheated, & then expecting to still be good after that season. We sucked for so long after. I always tell people, it sucks hovering around the 6th-12th seed every year, because you're never going to get a good draft pick in that range & if you happen to make the playoffs, you're not going to go far anyways. I feel like the Kings are currently going through what we went through. I honestly think it's better to just keep tanking, get a top draft pick, similar to what the 76ers have done. The Bucks, we just got lucky with Giannis, we actually suck at drafting, if you noticed he's the only one that panned out. To get out of that terrible middle-level (6th-12th seed) phase though, you really have to just tank. Lol

Been a Bucks fan since the late 80s/early 90s. I wept like a baby when they finally won the championship last year. It was truly a thing of beauty.

Sam Cassell is one of two players to feature in 4 collapse videos (Rockets - Traded, Kings - Twolves series, Twolves- Protagonist, and Bucks-Protagonist)

Love our team now but will always remember the days from glenn and ray to redd, to jennings ellis and sanders✊️
