Top 10  moments of 2021 for the Milwaukee Bucks: 8. Banner and ring night on Opening Night

On Tuesday, October 19th, the Milwaukee Bucks received their championship rings while unveiling the championship banner that night before kicking off the 2021-22 NBA season in a matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The Bucks would keep the celebrations going as they dominated from start to finish in what was a thrashing 127-104 victory.

Everything about that night was special, whether it was the suspense leading up to the game, the ring ceremony, the second franchise banner that displayed the satisfactory words of “NBA Champions” in the rafters, the electric atmosphere, the Greek Freak dominating on both sides of the ball again, or the final buzzer that signified another classic Bucks win. It was an unbelievable moment that the Milwaukee Bucks will forever cherish.

Top 10  moments of 2021 for the Milwaukee Bucks: 7. Extending Jrue Holiday

It was a relieving and exciting moment for the Milwaukee Bucks just to acquire star guard Jrue Holiday, but extending him in the month of April was beyond that feeling.

The Bucks had an itch that Holiday was the missing piece to get them over the hump of past struggles, which they ended up being right about, so it was a great sight to see a guy like that commit to the organization long-term.

His two-way impact is among the elite tier in this talented league, and Jrue is easily one of the best at the guard position, if not the best. Holiday helped propel Milwaukee to a title with not just his spectacular abilities on both ends of the floor, but with his leadership as well.

After signing the four-year extension worth up to $160 million, Jrue stated in his own words, “I’m a Buck for life.” The Milwaukee Bucks are thankful for Jrue Holiday and Jrue Holiday is thankful for the Milwaukee Bucks, so his long-term extension could be one of the top moments of the decade, in addition to this year alone.
