Never in a million years did I have it ending this way...

I have been very vocal about Khris' health and defensive issues the last few years but none of that overshadows what a competitor and leader we got with him all those years back. As much as it hurts to see his body betray him, it feels even worse to see him shipped off to a destination like Washington. He deserved and deserves better, and it's genuinely hard to turn the page. I watched every single game the year we acquired Khris, and probably did so for the next few years as well. He is as much a part of my basketball fandom as Giannis is. Seeing it all turn into Kuzma and Baldwin is just the painful cherry on top.

God bless you Khris, wishing you and your family the best.

All good stuff.

All I'll say is that he is so good that I would take him at 50% over whatever the Bucks think they got for him. He did it all. Elite shooting, elite post ups, tremendous assists and rebounding. And in his prime, excellent defender.

And humble as could be.

Khris would be an excellent coach with his even keeled nature and elite BB brain

Thanks Khris. Hope you land on a contender tomorrow.

I have wonderful memories that I’ll never forget because of Khris. Thanks, champ.

The NBA history books will not remember that he went full Kawhi in the 2021 playoffs. Literally every time and in every series when the Bucks needed a bucket, he got it.

Midds, you’re a legend who deserved better in the end.

I distinctly rememeber the first time seeing Khris take a shot for the Bucks, it was a corner 3 on the left side of the court, near side. Perfect form, rotation, swish. Was thinking wow they got a good one as a throw-in player in the Brandon Jennings - Brandon Knight trade. What a player he became for us.

At a loss for words, but he was kash.

Some incredible clutch shots, I'm not quite ready to watch highlights, still a bit too raw.

One against Miami sticks out.
I remember one in the finals with a minute left. My goodness he is a legend. That sweet jumper and calm demeanor. Such a champion.

Thank you so much Kash. You brought home a championship in my lifetime, something I never dreamed possible.

Who knew some random second round pick throw in on a trade, landing with the worst team in basketball was going to be a cornerstone to bringing home the trophy.

I still get a little emotional when I remember the words, "we did it Khris."

This was the moment where I knew our Milwaukee Bucks would be NBA champions.

How f'ing crazy was it... We had the kash cycle and it peaked with a jordan like 40pt game in the finals.

Bruh. Legend forever.

He brought a title, he will forever be one of the franchise's all-time players. God speed, Khash.

Lighting up a stogie for my boy Khris tonight! Forever a Buck! It’s a cold business but you will be missed and never forgotten Midds

I was the first to say you should appreciate Khris while he's here and now he's not here. Real good work not appreciating him while you had time to do so. Real. good. work.
