MILWAUKEE BUCKS TRIVIA

1) Who was the first player in NBA history to finish a regular season in the top 20 in all five major statistical categories: total points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks?


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.

2) Which Buck was famous for his "skyhook" shot?


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.

3) What is the name of the Bucks' official mascot?


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.

4) Who holds the franchise record for most steals in a single game?


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.

5) What is the Milwaukee Bucks longest winning streak?


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.

6) Which Buck scored the most points in a single game?


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.

7) Who was the first player in franchise history to win Sixth Man of the Year?


Not only was Ricky Pierce the first Bucks player to win Sixth Man of the Year, he did it twice (1987, 1990).

8) Who holds the franchise record for most blocked shots in a season?


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.

9) Which Buck was nicknamed "the Squid"?


A defensive specialist, Moncrief often appeared to have eight arms instead of two, earning himself the nickname "Sid the Squid".

10) How many first round draft picks did Milwaukee have in 1977?


In the 1977 draft, the Bucks had three first round picks and drafted Kent Benson, Marques Johnson and Ernie Grunfeld. Johnson would become a staple in the Bucks for years to come.
