Bobby Portis Jr. has seen a banner go up in the rafters at Fiserv Forum. He’s held the Larry O’Brien Trophy. He has a ring.
He has some strong thoughts on what the #Bucks should do if they hoist the NBA Cup after this trip to Vegas 👇

More on this storyline
Better late than never, they’re looking like contenders again. Since their 2-8 start, the Bucks have won 12 of their last 15 games while posting top 10 marks in both offensive and defensive rating (10th and eighth, respectively). “I don’t think we ever left,” Portis said of the Bucks’ title-contender status. “The record was what it was. We needed a little bit of straightening, a little bit of practice, a little bit of camaraderie and togetherness. We added some new faces, came in rusty a little bit, didn’t play our best basketball. … That’s why it’s called an 82-game season. It’s not a 10-game season.” -via New York Times / December 15, 2024
