FEAR THE DEER!
Milwaukee Bucks
American professional basketball team based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that plays in the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
The Bucks were founded in 1968 and had a last-place divisional finish in their inaugural season. Despite winning 11 more games than their fellow expansion team the Phoenix Suns, the Bucks won a coin toss to earn the first pick in the 1969 NBA draft, which they used to select collegiate superstar Lew Alcindor (known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from 1971). With Alcindor, Milwaukee improved its win total by 29 games in 1969–70 to finish the season with the second best record in the NBA (56–26), behind the New York Knicks, who then eliminated the Bucks in the Eastern Division finals. In the following off-season the Bucks traded for future Hall of Fame point guard Oscar Robertson, who helped lead Milwaukee to a league-best 66–16 mark in 1970–71. The Bucks then easily defeated the San Francisco Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, and Baltimore Bullets in the postseason to win the NBA title in just their third season, a record for the four major North American professional team sports.
