Milwaukee Bucks: “Twelve Days of Bucksmas”

“On the seventh day of Bucksmas, Milwaukee sent to me…seven years of Ray Ray, six games with Big Three, five months no Khash, four more years of Plumlee, three second rounders, two cornerstones, and a Greek Freak at the 15th.”

The Bucks have had their fair share of good players over the past several years, even though there have been very few All-Stars, but none compare to Ray Allen in his time with the Bucks (you’re getting there, Giannis). Allen played seven of his 19 seasons in Milwaukee and was a three-time All-Star in this time.

Ray Ray was once an incredibly athletic wing, even though the latter parts of his career labelled him as more a catch-and-shoot player, and he produced some outstanding highlights while rocking the purple and green.

Allen, along with Sam Cassell and Glenn Robinson, formed a Big Three in Milwaukee, which led to an appearance in the 2001 Eastern Conference Finals, where they fell in seven games to the Allen Iverson-led Philadelphia 76ers. The Bucks have not returned to even the second round of the NBA Playoffs since that performance.

Although traded in the 2002-2003 season to the SuperSonics along with Flip Murray for Gary Payton and Desmond Mason, Ray Allen spent seven incredible years with the franchise.
