Back then, Bucks President Peter Feigin said that if a new arena was not built, the NBA would move the team. For nearly 20 years, the Bucks were the laughing-stock of the NBA. Players avoided playing for the Bucks if they could help it. The roster was constantly flipped from year-to-year. With the exception of Michael Redd, few players received any kind of national attention. Now, Giannis Antetokounmpo is regarded as one of, if…
