The Milwaukee Bucks joined the NBA as an expansion team for the 1968-69 season. After one losing season, the Bucks’ fortunes immediately changed thanks to the addition of rookie center Lew Alcindor, later to be known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Abdul-Jabbar led the Bucks to the playoffs in 1970, and after teaming with aging superstar Oscar Robertson the following year, won the NBA championship in 1971. Abdul-Jabbar and Robertson made the NBA Finals once more, but fell to the Boston Celtics in 1974. The 1979-1980 season marked the first of 12 consecutive seasons the Bucks reached the playoffs, the longest such streak in the franchise’s history. The run came to a crashing halt in 1991, when the team won just 31 games, the lowest win total since 1977. It wouldn’t be until Ray Allen came into his own in Milwaukee that the Bucks would reach the playoffs again. Since Allen was traded to the Seattle Supersonics, the Bucks have made the playoffs just four times in 10 years. Milwaukee has retired the numbers of seven players in the franchise’s history.
