MILWAUKEE â History is no longer in the making.
The Milwaukee Bucks grabbed their first NBA title in 50 years Tuesday in front of a global audience, more than 17,000 inside Fiserv Forum and an overflow crowd of tens of thousands of people at an outdoor watch party in the Deer District.
âBucks in six,â a chant started after Milwaukee dropped the first two games of the best-of-seven series to the Phoenix Suns, became reality. âHistory in the making,â a moniker plastered on the face of Fiserv Forum, became past tense as Milwaukee defeated the Phoenix Suns 105-98.
âI donât think the magnitude has hit anyone quite yet, but it will,â said Drew Griswold, a lifelong Milwaukee resident who paid $1,200 for a standing-room-only spot in Fiserv Forum. âI donât think I can really comprehend how big of a deal it is for the state for the city, for Giannis, for the Bucks, for everybody.â
