So, the Easter holiday is coming up (and if you do not celebrate yourself, a happy Sunday to you)! As the day approaches, one thing that many think of with this holiday is the Easter Bunny. Now, while the Easter Bunny cannot jump too high to save his energy to deliver all the children’s baskets, the following individuals do not have such limitations. Whether you want to call them hops, bunnies, or what have you, I thought this was a prime opportunity to discuss this. Without further ado, then, here some of the best players with hops in Wisconsin sports…

Well, Brewers fans, it’s that time of the year again! With spring (most of the time) comes the start of baseball season, and renewed hope for every MLB franchise. For the Milwaukee Brewers, this season is bringing about some mixed predictions as far as their success is concerned. However, on the surface, the team could well have more than meets they eye, especially on the offensive side. After all, when you have a lineup foundation that revolves around Christian Yelich and Keston Hiura, that’s not a half bad place to start. Throw in the pitching staff aced by Brandon Woodruff…

It may seem too good to be Jrue, but it is definitely not. At long last, Bucks guard Jrue Holiday is expected to make his return to the court against the Clippers on Sunday. This comes via a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Saturday night.  After having missed the last 10 games due to COVID-related protocols, Holiday’s return is sure to be a welcome one. He has not suited up since February 6th at Cleveland, logging 20p/3r/8a in that contest. For the season, the guard is averaging 16.4p/4.8r/5.4a per night as a key cog in the Milwaukee Machine.…

After Tuesday’s win over Minnesota, Timberwolves beat writer Chris Hine tweeted the following about Giannis Antetokounmpo and Karl-Anthony Towns: “Karl-Anthony Towns said he was really grateful for Giannis reaching out to him as his family was going through COVID tragedies over the last year. Said they became friends and he’s appreciative of how good a person Giannis is. Giannis said he reached out to Towns because of his experience losing his father. Said he knows how hard it can be to lose someone you’re close with and have to go about doing your job. Said he told KAT: “I love…

*EDIT* Shortly after the publication of this article, John Clayton clarified that the three teams mentioned are leading for J.J. Watt, not that they are the only three teams remaining. Well, there is still a chance! Big news surrounding the J.J. Watt Sweepstakes has arrived once again, and it’s pleasing to Packer fan’s ears. According to 93.7 The Fan’s (PIT) Andrew Fillipponi, former ESPN analyst John Clayton stated that J.J. Watt has eliminated the Steelers from contention to sign him. Further, Clayton revealed that the Packers, Titans, and Bills are the three main teams remaining. In addition to those three,…

Well, this is a coincidence, is it not? Things started off hot in installment number one with #1 himself, Oscar Robertson. Now, the Bucks Rafters Series continues with edition number two. Today, we take a look at an underrated Buck in #2 himself, Junior Bridgeman Before The Bucks Junior Bridgeman, a.k.a. Ulysses Lee Bridgeman, was born in 1953 in East Chicago, Indiana. He was a member of the Washington Senators (no, not those Washington Senators) while attending the city’s Washington High School. Along with a trio that included his brother and former pitcher Tim Stoddard, Bridgeman led the Senators to…

It’s time for your Bucks Review! The Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves have had their own differing paths during this very different 2020-21 season thus far. From the Bucks’ POV, they have experienced a season that has not quite lived up to their lofty standards of the last two seasons. At 18-13 coming into Tuesday off of back-to-back victories, they looked for another win against their 7-24 neighbors to the West. The T-Wolves, though, are in a much different spot. With little expectations coming into the new campaign, Minnesota has struggled to their aforementioned record, and took a big…

Well, this matchup just got more interesting in a hurry. Adding to a roster that already boasted top 25 players in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, the Brooklyn Nets paid a king’s ransom for Houston Rockets guard James Harden on Wednesday, creating undoubtedly the best trio in the NBA since the Golden State Warriors’ Curry, Thompson and the aforementioned Durant. Assuming Kyrie Irving soon returns from his current hiatus from the team, the Nets have become the Eastern Conference favorite, at least for many, overnight. Now, they are in the Bucks’ sight Monday night, so it is time for your…

In everything in life from school to the professional world, the goal for many is to be the absolute best they can be at their craft. In the world of sports, though, that drive and passion gets turned all the way up to 11. For in sports, the goal is to not simply become the best, but find your way into the illustrious halls of your sport’s Hall of Fame.  Only a chosen number have been able to do the same in basketball, the greatest of the great. These are the players who live in the minds and stories of…

As fans of the Milwaukee Bucks, we all know the big names. From Big O to Kareem to newer names like Michael Redd and Giannis, they are very familiar for what they did in a Bucks uniform. Now, when it comes to these next five players, while they may be known for what they accomplished in Milwaukee, those accomplishments could have been much greater. So, without further ado, here is the All-Time What If Team for your Milwaukee Bucks. PG: T.J. Ford Seasons played w/ MIL: 2 Career stats w/ MIL: 10.0 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 6.5 APG, 1.3 SPG…
