Milwaukee Bucks
PG – Oscar Robertson
Oscar Robertson was the first player in NBA history to average a triple-double for one season before Russell Westbrook. The Big O was a truly special player. Robertson made an impact all over the court. If his game film was widely available, and in color, people would put a lot more respect on the name Oscar Robertson.
SG – Sidney Moncrief
Known for his defensive prowess, Sidney Moncrief helped lead one of the most successful stretches of play for the Milwaukee Bucks franchise from 1979 to 1990. In the 1980s the Bucks has the third-best winning percentage only behind the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. Moncrief won back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year awards (1984 and 1985).
SF – Glenn Robinson
Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson was a truly special offensive player. He was strong enough to create havoc in the paint and skilled enough to be comfortable playing on the perimeter. Robinson was a mismatch for nearly all defenders. Though he never made the NBA Finals with the team, Robinson’s tenure in Milwaukee is definitely one that fans remember well.
PF – Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo quickly rose from someone the media wrote fluff pieces about discovering smoothies to someone with a real case of being named MVP. Antetokounmpo is a workaholic whose dedication to the gym has helped him rise to the top of the NBA seemingly overnight. There’s no telling how great Antetokounmpo will be when he reaches his peak but the scary part is that he hasn’t even scratched the surface of that potential yet.
C – Lew Alcindor
Coming off one of the most storied college careers of all time, Lew Alcindor went on to dominate individually in the NBA much of the same way he did in Westwood with the UCLA Bruins. Alcindor and Robertson played together for a few seasons but never were able to win an NBA title together. Alcindor is easily one of the best players to ever be part of Milwaukee’s franchise.
