I just wanted to say that as a long time Buck fan I give Glenn Robinson more credit than most do. He gave something to Milwaukee that Grant Hill and jason Kidd never gave their respective teams. Loyalty. Glenn loved playing in Milwaukee when others didn’t. Terrell Brandon sulked all the while he was there. When you look at it now even his contract was somewhat pedestrian by today’s standards. His jumper was sweet as could be and there was no one better with a hand in is face than the Big Dog. He made tough shots. What some folks don’t realize is he never fully recovered from the leg injury he had the year he was averaging almost 24ppg and got hurt and didn’t finish the season. It was bringing in Anthony Mason that hurt the Bucks. We should have tried it again with Scott Williams. That 2000-2001 team had a toughness other Buck teams didn’t and played just enough defense when it had to. George Karl started out well then got to big for his britches. Bobby Dandridge, Marques Johnson and Glenn Robinson began a tradition of smooth scoring small forwards that the Bucks have lacked since Glenn was traded. I for one miss him still.

@Jeremy Schmidt Probably won't though. I'm way too biased for that.

…and, I am an idiot. but for the record, the Bogut post is uncategorized, y’all might want to tag it as “20 Bucks for 20 Years”

@Bizzucks I think these last few years, years in which Hill and Kidd have still been either All-Stars or relevant members of playoff rotations while Robinson has long since been out of the league, can allow you to cut the media some slack.

I love reminiscing about the bucks of the 90′s. That’s when I like, like some of you guys, started really paying attention. Started buying Bucks gear and so on… Big Dog was my boy and I hated Grant Hill and Jason Kidd. I always blamed “the media” for his lack of national praise. I think I still blame the media and the refs in general for my percieved lack of calls in games and overall snubbing by sports media, and it all started back then…

Big Dog was the only member of the Big 3 that I ever met, he signed my jersey for me and I was speechless the whole time I was in front of him. I must’ve been around 9 years old give or take. I remember him being a real cool guy tho, and I remember he taught me the word “aight” and to this day i will not use the L in that word in honor of my first and hopefully not last meeting of the Big Dog
