Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Luka. Almost like the US has to catch back up to the foreign players. Would love to hear your thoughts on how/when this happened?
Sorry Mark Jones, this ain’t no “steal” of game one. Coaching experience was a huge key in this one for
@Bucks
. And I mean not only Bud, but his incredible staff that went through the gauntlet last year…
I stated back on 2/28 that the
@bucks
had a brutal 15 game stretch the coming month. The way they were playing at the time, 8-7 would’ve been acceptable. 10-5 outstanding. They went 12-3. They’re ready…💪🏾🔥💙
No matter how it turns out, we ain’t forgot about ya’ young fella’
@Divincenzo
and what you mean to
@Bucks
. Helped set the tone at the start of season with attitude of embracing adversity. I know you putting your work in…
@Paschketball
announcing his retirement tonight from
@bucks
broadcast. Been as much fun as I’ve ever had in this business working with him. All the best to a wonderful man...
A 16 year old black kid had just left the Frat Games at his high school in south central Los Angeles. These were a series of basketball contest involving the four prominent black fraternities, Kappa, Sigma, Alpha, and Omega...
C’mon George Hill, shut up the naysayers! You’re not too old to contribute. C’mon Bobby Portis, we need a double dub. C’mon Brook, knock down a couple of 3’s and get you some post ups and putbacks. I believe in all of you!

The Bucks’ starting 5 of Giannis, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, Brook Lopez and P.J. Tucker have been outstanding on defense. In 67 minutes together in this series, they have held the Nets to just 86.1 points per 100 possessions and an Effective FG Percentage of 45.6%.
Congratulations to
@Khris22m
for making the All Star team. When I first got to
@bucks
7 years ago, I’ve watched firsthand your work ethic and dedication. Proud of the player and man you’ve grown into.
Congrats to
@Khris22m
for scoring 10K career pts with his first made FG last game vs Denver. I still remember when I hit the milestone in ‘84 for
@Bucks
It’s only one game, but the question needs to be pondered. Is Jevon Carter a better fit for what the
@bucks
need than Goran Dragic? His nuanced defensive offerings are next level.
Hopefully
@Giannis_An34
will continue his growth that has been on display in this series. I played in 3 game 7’s as a player, came close but lost them all. 1st time as a rookie (Nuggets) feeling my way around. Bobby Jones, the HOF Defensive player started the series by forcing…
I was reminded of something as I watched
#TheLastDance
. Just how strong MJ2 was. I set a blind flare screen on him his rookie year. He made hard contact and lifted his elbows in a semi threat posture. I said “hey Rook, watch the elbows”. He replied, “hey Vet, watch the screen”.
Bobby Bustin’ Out. His speed up and down the floor and quickness in closeouts is a different dynamic than Khris. Has some of the quickest/fastest feet for a 6’10” 260lb guy I’ve ever seen…
Majority of deaths in major cities have been people of color. In a few days Georgia opening up Barbershops, Nail and Hair Salons, Liquor stores, BBQ joints, Pool Halls, Gyms (with basketball courts), Check cashing spots, Foot Locker, Popeyes and Chic Fila...hmmm?
Congrats to my pops
@olskool888
for being nominated to the Naismith Hall of Fame.
Everybody remembers him from White Men Can’t Jump, but go ahead and remember this too... (THREAD)
It’s in a different form physically. But mentally every bit as tough as anyone, and IMO, was a positive influence on
@bucks
his first time around. Glad he’s back…
PRINCE STORY: Bucks were in Indy for Pacers game, staying at the Hyatt. Me, Bridgeman, Moncrief, Catchings, we’re walking through the lobby headed to lunch. I look up and see Prince, with dark shades on and all black walking our way. I nudge a couple of guys. Prince looks up and
