Jabari Parker

That is great to hear. The NBA season is a long one, and the Bucks have eyes on the playoffs, so extend even further. Take it slow and make sure Parker is good for the long haul.

Rehab and sports medicine have come a long way. I am really interested in seeing how this sports medicine facility the Bucks and MU are talking about progresses. Could this become the place for pros to only come and develop programs to enhance their performance and also to rehab from injury?

This is really looking to be a perfect storm for the Bucks.

A young and so far fun to follow team that has captured the interest of many fans that have lost interest in the Bucks / NBA.

Now if you have some on the court success with the expectation of a bright future, and add in a new state of the art facility in two years it could really be perfect timing for the Bucks.

I'm really looking forward to seeing shovels hit the ground, and fully expect this deal will work out for everyone. Great for downtown Milwaukee, who already has a lot of construction going on (833 building / Northwestern Mutual).

The fans of Milwaukee have proven repeatedly that they will support a team that wins or is even reasonably competitive. Look at the Brewers when they have made the playoffs or even come close people go in flocks to games. When the Bucks had the "big 3" or Allen, Cassell, and Big Dog and were regularly one of the top 5 teams in the East the BC was packed for the playoffs and was an electric atmosphere for those Eastern Conference Finals games. That can and will happen again if the Bucks can manage to become relevant.

The issue in the past was just that the team was always horrible or the 7 or 8 seed and that doesn't get people real excited anywhere.

Well said. I am going off of memory, but in 2001 I believe the Sporting News rated the Bradley Center as the loudest arena in the NBA. Wisconsin is a great, great sports state. Not only are fans passionate, but they are well informed.

That's no joke, I was at two of the games, it was LOUD in there, awesome atmosphere for a game, I hope this team can get back to that.
