Bball is pretty popular out here, lots of locals play it. Definitely think there is potential to grow the Milwaukee fan base internationally.

Dwade and Harden are in some HK Nba commercials, I'm looking for the days when some Bucks are in international NBA commercials.

The opinion of the Bucks by local fans in Singapore have been quite bad for many years, so far it seems I'm the only Bucks fan around. But with the addition of Kidd as coach last season, the young core assembled and the Monroe signing, things are looking promising and we're turning some heads. If we have a great season with our young core, like top 4 in the East and making the conference finals, it will change many peoples' opinions of the Bucks and getting some respect. I'm really looking forward to watch the young Bucks play this season, exciting times ahead.

The most watched pro league in Singapore is the English Premier League, but the NBA is fast rising in popularity here. Lots of Chinese here love to play basketball. I agree that the Milwaukee Bucks fan base have potential to grow internationally, but do need much better performances in the league though. I hope the Bucks can become the next Spurs, winning a few championships in an era.

I remember watching Jennings' 55pt game in Singapore on my mates computer when we were on our way home from seeing the Bucks in Milwaukee for the home opener. Good times.

So should this thread be locked and deleted by the standards set around here?

I'm a little perplexed as well. Myself and chuck started a podcast with tons of arena talk and Bucks talk and our thread for it was locked and promptly deleted. Hoping for an explanation.

Save Our Bucks Radio hour is tonight at 7pm-8pm....not the usual 6pm due to Ziebart OnDeck Show at 6pm.

We will have two very special guests in the studio tonight.....Andy & Ben from OurMecca....ESPN30for30Producer and owners of the Mecca Floor. Hear the story behind MECCA Floor acquisition and the what's in store for the future ahead.

Fantastic.

Ask Andy if he's going to be able to get the Mecca Floor installed either as a large wall mural or as under glass/acrylic for a floor in a banquet/gathering room in the new arena. You could really do something fantastic with that floor in the new place.

And ask him if the 3 point line can be removed, it wasn't part of the original design and it looks better without it

Got a call into Marques Johnson and a couple other Bucks from the 80's. Hopefully someone gives me a yes.

It would be interesting to have on members of the Common Council who haven't declared support for the Arena plan. Debate with them and take calls, much like Bill Michaels did with Lena Taylor

Keeping my fingers crossed for the long shot of Bill Simmons seeing your tweet!

SOB Radio Hour back to 6pm tonight. Still waiting to confirm a guest or two.

We'll be talking about Scott Walker signing the Bucks bill, preview the common council vote and we'll actually talk some basketball. We'll recap the Giannis Africa game, preview the Giannis Greece games and discuss international play after hearing the Dante Exum torn ACL news.
