In the latest edition of our Milwaukee Bucks’ Win In 6 Podcast, we discuss what makes a cult hero, reflect on some of the Bucks’ greatest games in recent years, and more.

The latest episode of our Win In 6 Podcast arrives a week later than expected, as we continue our dive into the franchise’s history, along with talking about some of the more topical pieces of Bucks news from the last few days.

Having taken a deep dive into why the Bucks fell short of further championship successes in our last episode, we continued to reflect on some of the more interesting elements of the franchise’s recent and distant past in the run-up to the new season.

Bucks fans have always embraced role players and big personalities, arguably as much as they have the team’s stars, and with that in mind we talked about what exactly it is that makes a true cult hero.

That conversation led us to consider the balance that’s required to be successful with a team full of cult heroes, and also how those kind of players often tend to rise up as fan favorites in times of disappointment rather than times of great success.

As we move into our greatest games week on site, we also considered some of the standout games from Jason Kidd‘s tenure in Milwaukee so far, and picked out three games which may stand out in terms of significance even as time winds on.

Lastly, we talked about the news of Jason Terry‘s re-signing and reports of a Brandon Rush deal.

To wrap up, we fielded questions from our loyal listeners in our Twitter mailbag.

Joining me for this episode was site contributor, and Bucks’ Twitter’s most dominant center, Jordan Treske.
