Bucks Fans Begin to Love Bobby Portis as Much as Arkansas Basketball Fans Do

It took a while, but Little Rock native Bobby Portis is right back to what he was doing for Hall High School eight years ago — playing for a championship.

Back then, it was state championships. Four in a row, to be precise.

This time, however, it’s on a much bigger stage.

Bobby Portis, the former Arkansas basketball great, is a key bench player in the Milwaukee Bucks’ quest for their first NBA World Championship since 1971.

“You know how some players say like, “Man, my teachers used to laugh at me when I said I was going to the league,” Portis wrote for the Players Tribune.
