On Friday, the Milwaukee Bucks will have two more former players join one of the sport’s most illustrious clubs as Sidney Moncrief and Jack Sikma are inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
To pull back the curtain just a little, in close to five years writing at this site, I’ve learned and written a lot about the history of Bucks — certainly more than most people would likely deem to be necessary or reasonable. Part of that process has involved frequently shining a light on individual players from the franchise’s past.
That journey has included taking deep dives on some of the franchise’s true greats and what made them or their time with the Bucks really special, such as examining Moncrief’s remarkable consistency, considering the complex off court incidents that accompanied much of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar‘s time as a Buck, and highlighting how Marques Johnson was just as innovative in pushing forward the players’ agenda as he was in helping to re-invent what a forward could do.
