Antetokounmpo's combination of size, speed and ball-handling skills led to his nickname the "Greek Freak". In 2016-17, he led the Bucks in all five categories and became the first player to place top 20 in all five across the league.
Using his trademark "skyhook" shot, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar established himself as one of the league's top scorers. He spent six seasons in Milwaukee and led the Bucks to their first NBA championship in 1971.
The word "Bango" was originally coined by Eddie Doucette, the longtime play-by-play announcer for the Bucks, who used the term whenever a Bucks player connected on a long-range basket. When it came time for the Bucks to choose a name for their new mascot, the name "Bango" won easily.
Alvin Robertson averaged 2.71 steals per game for his career, an NBA record. But his best game as a Buck came on November 19, 1990, against the Utah Jazz, when he registered a franchise record 10 steals.
When the Bucks racked up 20 consecutive wins in their 1971 championship run, it represented the longest single-season win streak in NBA history, but the streak was a short-lived triumph. The Lakers won 33 in a row in the following season--a streak, ironically, which was ended by the Bucks.
In 2006-07, Michael Redd had the best season of his career. He averaged a career-high 26.7 points per game and set a Bucks' record on November 11, 2006, with a 57-point effort against the Utah Jazz, breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's previous mark of 55 points.
Not only was Ricky Pierce the first Bucks player to win Sixth Man of the Year, he did it twice (1987, 1990).
In 1973-74, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won his third MVP Award in five years and set a new franchise single-season record with 283 blocked shots.
A defensive specialist, Moncrief often appeared to have eight arms instead of two, earning himself the nickname "Sid the Squid".
