I will miss Khash, what a great run he's had for the Bucks. Always overlooked, but his old man game was a pleasure to watch.

Amazing buck. I really do think they repeat if he does not get hurt. Wish him the best.

Yeah, same. Grateful we have one but with better injury luck/freak opponent performances, maybe could have gone on a 3 of 5 type of run.

[MickeyDavis]

Feb 21 Bucks at Washington. Unfortunately they don't play here again this season. And I doubt he's with Washington next season. Or maybe not even the rest of this season. But wherever he is I'll be at his first game back in Milwaukee.

I think people are going to look at that run and see it as a failure with one title. Meanwhile there was some crazy **** going on.

2019- ECF, we find out Bledsoe is simply unplayable, Brogdon hurt and Middelton actually missed a three to put them up 3-1.
2020- Covid
2021- Title
2022- MIddelton is hurt
2023- Giannis hurt
2024- Giannis Hurt

The NBA is full of guys just pissing away their physical gifts. Khris gets the most out of his physical ability through smarts, skill, and what I would call 'competitive greatness.' He has the rare ability to punch above his weight class when his best is required. The guy is a warrior.

Khris has been unabashedly my favorite player almost since the day the Bucks traded for him.

It didn't help that my favorite NBA writer also had a similar Hoops-crush on Khris.

Middleton's jumper was pure even then. Midway through his rookie season, teammates and coaches noticed how he used learners, step-backs, and other tricks of footwork to get it off whenever he wanted -- even if he rarely blew by anyone. Tayshaun Prince nicknamed him "Baby Joe Johnson."

I'm sad today.

What a joy to watch these dozen years. From the worst record in franchise history to dropping 40 in the Finals. Forever a Buck. Miss him already.

[SupremeHustle]

Definitely one of my all-time favorites and will continue to be. When Khris really got going, his footwork was Jordan/Kobe-esque. It was beautiful, man. Underrated offensive player at his peak. He earned every All-Star appearance he had. His "22" will be in the rafters someday.

I hope he still has some solid years left, but the years he left behind were gold.

Not much to add. Just wanted to make sure I posted itt.

Top 5 Buck ever for me. I'll miss that sweet jumper. Father Time never loses.

[fan230]

I cannot thank Khris enough for. So many lovely years of watching him play and play his heart out for the Bucks. I will never forget his contribution to Milwaukee. Khris Middleton, you will always be an integral part of my memory. Thanks for the memories. I will be at the Fiserv to watch you play for the Wizards. You too me is an all time great for the Bucks. Your 22 will be up in the rafters for all time to come. Thanks to one of the greatest Bucks of all time: Khris Middleton!

[Milbucks96]

My second favorite bucks player ever. A borderline HOF talent at his peak and I will defend that forever. One of the best shot creators/playmakers during his all star years and probably had another level to unlock had his body not gave out. It was time but damn. Stayed away from the trade talks because I knew I couldn’t accept the truth but it is what it is. Haven’t been to a bucks game in years but I have to go whenever he comes back to see him celebrated.

[MiltownMadness]

I will be there when they put your number up, I swear it. I really think he is my favorite Buck ever, I've always been the type who latches onto the unsung hero. You're that unsung hero Khris, **** **** ****. He's gone. **** man. Please come back soon and be with the org when you hang it up. Hopefully this is just a new beginning

[CharityStripe34]

[FrieAaron]

Second best player on the team that won Milwaukee it's first championship in 50 years. I was skeptical when we first gave him the massive contract, but he played up to it and more. Ridiculously good in the playoffs whenever he played, seemed to have little to no ego, and he yelled at Jason Kidd when he was a complete dumbass and told him to miss a free-throw to go up four.

Love you Khris, even after I found out that the massive amount of sweat you produce is green. Stay safe and sober my friend.

[emunney]

Would have been so appropriate if this gif lasted like 5 seconds longer.

[chonestown]

Forever glistening

[brewbucks]

You’re the man Khris! I will be in attendance when your number goes up in the rafters.
