ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — As a Milwaukee native, Shelby Harris grew up getting used to heartbreak in sports.
The Brewers have been to the World Series just once since their founding in 1969, and have won just two postseason series since that 1982 appearance.
And the Bucks? The last time they appeared in the NBA Finals was 1974, and their title drought stretched into a 50th year when 2021 began. The closest they'd gotten to getting back to the Finals came in 2001, when Milwaukee lost a crushing Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals to Philadelphia.
That just so happens to be the first Bucks team that Harris remembers.
