Inception: The Reindeer throws the league off-balance Milwaukee Bucks is a franchise that operates from the city of Milwaukee, which is in the state of Wisconsin. Its home floor is the Fiserv Forum which opened in 2018 via public funding. It is a part of the Central Division that also features the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Chicago Bulls, the Indiana Pacers, and the Detroit Pistons. The franchise has been operational since 1968 and played its first NBA game in October of that year. Before the following season, because of a grueling 27-55 record, they earned the right to the first pick following a coin flip.  On the stake was Lew Alcindor(now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), a transcendental talent who was deemed way too good for the NCAA. After winning the coin flip, the budding ABA’s New York Nets challenged them in a bidding war to bring Alcindor. But, the Bucks succeeded in bringing him into the fold. And just in his second year and the franchise’s third season, they claimed their first NBA Championship. Therefore, Milwaukee Bucks is the first expansion franchise that win a title within the first three years of its existence. Since then, it has won one more title. It happened in 2021, when Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton made one of the most brilliant runs in the history of the game. They beat the Suns in six games during the championship round.  Sep 27, 2021; Milwaukee, WI, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (22) and forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) and guard Jrue Holiday (21) pose for pictures during Media Day at the Fiserv Forum.

Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports Current Background The Milwaukee Bucks’ jersey colors are Cream City cream, Good Land green, Great Lakes blue, black, and white. The Franchise is owned by Wes Edens, Jimmy Haslam, Jamie Dinan, and Mike Fascitello. From 1984 to 2014, US Senator Herb Kohl was the longest-serving Bucks owner. It is because of his political maneuvering that the Bucks have been able to stay in Milwaukee. As of the 2023 preseason, their General Manager is Jon Horst. Their President is Peter Feigin. Their current head coach is Adrian Griffin who got the job after Mike Budenholzer got fired after the first-round exit in the 2022-23 Playoff. Budenholzer was at the helm when the Bucks won the 2021 ring, and he also led them to the best record in the league. However, after a first-round disappointment against the Heat, Griffin has the reins for now.  Now Griffin will have a chance to coach Damian Lillard. The team acquired him by giving up their core two-way threat Jrue Holiday who later went to the Boston Celtics, which is a Conference rival.  Net Worth & Main Sponsorships Per Statista, as of 2022, Milwaukee Bucks is valued at $2.3 billion. In 2021, its value was around $1.9 billion, so it has seen a 21% rise.  Fiserv earned the rights to the newly opened Arena in 2017 and since then, it is known as Fiserv Forum. Since 2021, Motorola has been the team’s official jersey sponsor. BMO Bank has been a long-term partner and one of the founders of the Fiserv Forum. It signed a 30-year contract with the Franchise. Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin is the official healthcare partner of the Milwaukee Bucks. The Arena’s official smart building control partner is Johnson Control, which oversees the developments in the arena that shape technology services.  Lineups/Roster This is what the Milwaukee Bucks’ roster looks like as of October 2023.
