Oh how I love doing articles like this. Around the middle of last season I wrote one called MC Bango with my good friend Joey Burbs that asked the provocative and deep question “What if the Milwaukee Bucks were famous rappers?”. It went well.

This time around I’m thinking more along the lines of football, seeing as the Green Bay Packers kick off their season with what will likely be a throttling of the Chicago Bears down in Illinois. The Packers are the dominant team in Wisconsin sports both by success and fan base, which makes sense considering their illustrious history.

It especially makes sense considering the Packers history stacked next to the other two pro teams in Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Brewers and of course our beloved Milwaukee Bucks. The Brewers and Bucks combine for just one title in their histories. The Packers have 13 (four Super Bowls, nine championships before the Super Bowl existed).

So to shift a bit of focus from the historical titans up in Green Bay back down to the Young Bucks, I’ve gone through the Bucks roster and tried to figure where each player would line up on a football field. This is going to be easy in some cases and very difficult in others, but I’ll make it work.

I’ll be going in alphabetical order, so we start off with one of the most dynamic athletes in any sports league, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
