The Milwaukee Bucks were established as an NBA expansion team in 1968.¹⁾

They won their first NBA championship just three years later in 1971 — one of the fastest in NBA history.²⁾

Since 2018, the Bucks have played at the Fiserv Forum, a state-of-the-art arena in downtown Milwaukee.³⁾

Legendary guard Oscar Robertson joined the Bucks in 1970, helping them win the 1971 title.⁴⁾

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then Lew Alcindor) won three MVPs with the Bucks (1971, 1972, 1974).⁵⁾

Kareem changed his name from Lew Alcindor to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1971, during his time with the Bucks.⁶⁾

The team’s colors have evolved, but green has been a consistent element. “Cream City” was introduced in the 2015 rebrand.⁷⁾

The Bucks' official mascot, Bango, debuted in 1977 and is a fan favorite for his stunts.⁸⁾

The Bucks won their second NBA championship in 2021, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo.⁹⁾

In Game 6 of the 2021 Finals, Giannis scored 50 points — one of the greatest Finals performances ever.¹⁰⁾

“Fear the Deer” started as a social media hashtag but became the team’s rallying cry.¹¹⁾

In 2014, a group led by Marc Lasry and Wes Edens bought the team from Senator Herb Kohl.¹²⁾

The Bucks selected Giannis Antetokounmpo with the 15th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft — a franchise-altering move.¹³⁾

The team’s longest winning streak is 20 games, set during the 1970–71 season.¹⁴⁾

The Bucks have had four MVP awards: three by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and two by Giannis Antetokounmpo.¹⁵⁾
