The Finals Game 6: We are the Champions my friend(s)!

[0BobLobLaw0]

1st loss....still the champs

We know that a lot of the fans joined the bandwagon recently. Lots of wintry nights in the BC with swaths of empty seats over the years. Lots of nights when the screams over t-shirt tosses drowned out the reaction to anything happening on the court.

I contemplate often the fan composition at games over the past 8-months. It is fantastic to get so much support for the team, so much gear worn everywhere, and to see statewide interest back after a 30-year absence.

At the same time, I realize that quite possibly only 3% of the fans at any given game now have any clue who Ruben Patterson or Epke Udoh were.

Real Bucks fans are trying to forget Ruben and Epke.

[emunney]

Many of us can't even spell Ekpe.

[Ron Swanson]

You're not a real one if you don't remember Marcus Haislip and David Noel.

If you never got into an argument with Freeway over whether to draft Nazr Mohammed or Paul Pierce, you might be a bandwagoner.

Who could forget the Kobe stopper!

[emunney]

FREEWAY: <confused, extremely fraught voice> You don't like NAZR???

Enjoying the Nets struggles, and that of the Lakers. Would help validate the fact that those two weren't juggernaut teams, deprived of the inevitable title only due to "injuries"

Got my merch like 2 weeks ago after waiting a month and today I got an email from Bucks pro shop telling me my order has been delayed due to items not being available. Weird.

So I just got the exact same order delivered again from Bucks Pro Shop. Don't know if I should go thru the hassle of returning it or just giving the duplicates away as Christmas presents.

That is too good. I just left messages at all the offices for the company who runs the online store (Legends Global Merchandise). Fully expect them to tell me the same thing the Bucks Pro Shop has told me so far (absolutely nothing).

I'd hate to be the poor bastard who goes to a Bucks game and sits by Nowak that says they have no idea who Ruben Patterson is.

That sucks, man. I don't know if you have an account with them or just ordered as a guest but I originally ordered as a guest because I didn't remember my password and finally reset the password after waiting about a month for the first order and somehow the guest order linked to my actual account and it got delivered about a week later.

My 'Earned' shirt may have disappeared into an ocean. I've been too busy to chase it up with other stuff, so next week I may have a go...

I'd still take Udoh as 4th big on the team.

Not sure if this article has been posted yet. First page of ESPN NBA page about us becoming a dynasty:

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32473440/why-giannis-antetokounmpo-milwaukee-bucks-believe-the-nba-next-great-dynasty

Since returning from Tokyo, Middleton and Holiday have forged an even tighter bond.

Giannis on Khris and Jrue:
"Oh yeah, [their relationship], it's grown a lot," Antetokounmpo said on Zoom after the first preseason game. "They sit next to each other in the locker room now. Yeah, they go out to dinners. Dates and stuff."

Crazy how much better the Bucks are at marketing compared to the Kohl days

Ruben, never Ekpe.

My son and I received our Championship hoodies just like the ones worn at the ring ceremony.

Very comfortable and warm. Very happy with the purchase.
