The Milwaukee Bucks are leaving 2021 with all smiles, as it’s been a historic 12 months filled with resilience, perseverance, patience, joy, happiness, and emotional satisfaction. Before we look forward to what’s next to come in 2022, it’s time to reflect on the sensational year that this organization has endured.
As the historic year of 2021 comes to a close, let’s break down the top 10 memorable moments for the Milwaukee Bucks after fulfilling glorified success.
Needless to say, the Bucks had a plethora of special moments during 2021. After forming a desirable, winning culture these last couple of years behind an ever-growing loyal superstar, a complementary supporting cast, outstanding management, and a passionate fanbase, the Milwaukee Bucks finally made the most out of all the endless work and sacrifice they’ve put in to make this year a reality.
Whether it was accomplishing the ultimate goal, acquiring or signing key pieces, celebrating with the city, embracing the small market community, winning nail-biter games at the buzzer, or rising to the occasion when needed most, the Bucks certainly had an eventful 2021.
Nevertheless, it was ultimately the players that made it beyond special. General manager Jon Horst did a terrific job assembling this roster, and that was evident after watching the squad achieve glory-filled success together.
The mesmerizing greatness of Giannis Antetokounmpo captured the headlines once again by reaching a legendary level that most thought he wasn’t capable of touching.
Antetokounmpo proved his doubters wrong at last, which seemed to be a common denominator for the whole core of the franchise as Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton, and head coach Mike Budenholzer all proved the doubters wrong as well.
It was clearly an inspirational and significant year for an organization without much excitement over the last few decades, so without further ado, let’s rewind the clock and dissect the top 10 memorable moments of 2021 for the Milwaukee Bucks.
