It wasn’t too long ago that Khris Middleton passed Michael Redd for the No. 5 spot on the Milwaukee Bucks’ all-time scoring list. The three-time All-Star made history yet again on Monday night when he climbed the leaderboards to surpass another Bucks icon for fourth all-time on the prestigious list.
Khris Middleton Makes Milwaukee Bucks History Again
Now with 11,600 points to his name, Middleton has leaped over Hall of Fame combo guard Sidney Moncrief for No. 4 on the franchise’s all-time scoring list:

Middleton entered the game 12 points behind Moncrief, who himself amassed 11,594 points in 10 seasons with the Bucks. Middleton took it a notch higher on Monday by dropping 18 points against the Wizards, which is just one point shy of his season-high of 19.
Khris Middleton Reacts to Incredible Milestone
Middleton spoke to Melanie B. Ricks right after the Bucks took down the Wizards, 142-129, and naturally, one of the first questions he faced centered around his most recent milestone:
“It feels great,” he said. “… Shoutout to Michael Redd, shoutout to Sidney Moncrief. Thsoe guys have been around my whole career here so far and they’ve been a great influence — positive — on just the team, the atmosphere, the environment, giving us tips.
“To come out here ang pass those legends, it means a lot — for the organization to have faith in me all these years. But it’s fun. It’s fun being out here, it’s fun being part of a great group. Hopefully I can keep going.”

Middleton will indeed keep it going. Hopefully, for many more years to come.
Next up on the list for Middleton is Glenn Robinson, 12,010 points to his name. At the rate he’s going Middleton should be able to pass the two-time All-Star at some point this season.
