Milwaukee Bucks: New Year’s resolution for every player
By Ben Rauman
With the Milwaukee Bucks facing great expectations entering the new year, here is a list of New Year’s resolutions for every player to hit the ground running in 2019.
It’s that time of year again. Once again, we’ll all vow to floss at least once a day or buy an expensive year-long gym membership we’ll use for two weeks. Maybe some of you actually keep your New Year’s resolutions through February.
For most of us though, we’ll go along with the charade for a few weeks before ultimately reverting back to our normal lives. This January 1, however, will be quite different for Bucks fans.

For the first time since the 1971 championship season, the Milwaukee Bucks will enter the new year with the best record in the NBA at 25-10. Take a second to let that soak in.
The Milwaukee Bucks, who haven’t won so much as a playoff series in over 17 years, are currently the best team in the entire league while having one of the NBA’s most difficult schedules thus far.
And that’s not all. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Festivus, the Bucks have given Milwaukee plenty of reason to be merry this holiday season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is currently the NBA’s leading MVP candidate, and the Bucks continue to lead the league in net rating by a pretty wide margin. They’re clicking both offensively and defensively and have gotten significant contributions from even the most unlikely bench players such as Pat Connaughton and D.J. Wilson.
With all sorts of success to begin the season, the Bucks have clearly emerged as favorites to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals at a minimum, with some even going as far as to say they could make an NBA Finals appearance.
Now entering 2019, the Bucks will look to continue their dominance for the rest of the regular season and into the playoffs. With that in mind, here is a list of New Year’s resolutions for every Bucks player before the new year gets under way, starting with the players at the end of the bench.
