The Milwaukee Bucks Are A Professional Basketball Team

The Milwaukee Bucks are a professional basketball team based in Milwaukee

, Wisconsin, United States. They are part of the Central Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team was founded in 1968 as an expansion team, and currently plays at the Bradley Center. U.S.Cheap Jerseys Senator Herb Kohl is the owner of the team, with Scott Skiles as head coach and John Hammond as general manager. The Bucks have won one league title (1971), two conference titles (1971, 1974), and thirteen division titles (1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1976, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 2001). They have featured such notable players as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson, Bob Lanier, Ray Allen, and Michael Redd.While it was expected that Alcindor would make the Bucks respectable almost overnight, no one expected what happened in 196970. They finished with a 5626 recorda nearly exact reversal of the previous record. This was good enough for the second-best record in the league, behind the New York Knicks. The 29-game improvement was by far the best in league historya record which would stand for 10 years until the Boston Celtics jumped from 29 wins in 197879 to 61 in 197980 (the difference again being a highly-touted rookie, Larry Bird). The Bucks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in five games in the Eastern semifinals, only to be dispatched in five by the Knicks in the Eastern finals. Alcindor was a runaway selection for NBA Rookie of the Year.

The Milwaukee Bucks were formed in January 1968 when the NBA awarded a franchise to Milwaukee Professional Sports and Services, Inc. (Milwaukee Pro), a group headed by Wesley Pavalon and Marvin Fishman. In October, the Bucks played their first NBA regular season game against the Chicago Bulls before a Milwaukee Arena crowd of 8,467. As is typical with expansion teams, the Bucks' first season, 196869, was a struggle. Their first victory came in their 6th game as the Bucks beat the Detroit Pistons 134118; NFL jerseys they would win only 26 more games in their first year. The Bucks' record that year earned them a coin flip against their expansion brethren, the Phoenix Suns, to see who would get the first pick in the upcoming draft. It was a foregone conclusion that the first pick in the draft would be Lew Alcindor of UCLA. The Bucks won the coin flip, but had to win a bidding war with the upstart American Basketball Association to secure him.
