Author Archive: Eric Buenning

Eric Buenning is a perpetual couch potato with an abnormally high amount of optimism for the Bucks. He enjoys tweeting more than most human interaction and is highly susceptible to moments of swog. He seeks patience from the readers, as this is his first job in this field. He’s also 6-4, 230, and is an almost decent free-throw shooter.

It’s a fair bit of amazing how little we hear about some of the more charitable aspects of NBA players lives. To be fair, when Bucksketball gets the average e-mail about a player doing an event at the local mall or building a home for Habitat for Humanity, we don’t shine much light on it. [...]

Both Lamb and Harris [...]
