Back in th' Day

I'm not sure that anybody else knows about the ol' Milwaukee Bucks, but I was bored and did some research on them recently. Our first season was crappy as is usual for expansion teams, just look at the Oklahoma City Blunder(just a working title, tell me if you like it.), and therefore got the first pick in the draft after winning a coin toss. That flip would be the second most epic toss in Wisconsin, Dan and Andy know the most epic one, because with the top overall pick we drafted Lew Alcindor, later know as Kareem Abdul-Jabar. With him and his awesomeness we turned into a playoff contender, losing in the conference finals. Next year by a miracle trade, one of the only good trades by the bucks ever, we got Oscar Robertson, the only player to ever average a triple double in a season. This year, only our third in the league, we won the championship in a finals sweep. With our first round draft pick in the offseason we selected Julius Erving, but he eventually signed with another team......oh what could have been.
