For me it's Embry, even though he traded Curtis Perry for garbage. Larry H. honorable mention.....

Larry H? Yikes.

The only recent draft choice worse than Chairman Yi was See Joe Dunk.
Khris Middleton - Beating up on Trash Can Teams since 1943. Invisible Man status otherwise.

I was torn between Wayne Embry and Don Nelson. Voted for Embry due to him being the guy that set in motion the the success that the Bucks had during the '80's.

I once had a conversation with Wayne after a Bucks win at the Arena pitching my views on drafting Michael Cage. LOL.

I won 4 straight NBA championships with 7, 60+ win seasons as GM of the Bucks in NBA 2K14. I think I deserve a vote or two.

T/F - 90% of the conversion was about his jheri curl.

I thought the Larry Harris era was complete garbage other than his first year. Redd got his max contract, Gadz big payday, Simmons was a big bust, the Yi pick ended up being a huge bust, there were multiple coaching bungles, the Magloire trade ended up being a flop, etc. Takeaway the Bogut excitement and this is really where the excitement in the Bucks started to wane. By the end of the Snake, errrr Harris era, people were tuning out.

That was when he was officially the GM. I still voted for him - I mean: Big 'O' and Kareem. Our only Championship. Consider it done.

Didn't he draft Dr. J too ? !!
it's always funny............... TILL I GET HURT!!!!

How great would have have been to have the Doctor play for the Bucks.

To this day I cannot logically see how he didn't end up with the Bucks. I've read through the explanation countless number of times and it has never made a bit of sense.
