Since he joined the Milwaukee Bucks, Eric Bledsoe has been an integral piece within the team’s foundation. With that, we run through his five best performances since donning a Bucks uniform.
When the Milwaukee Bucks traded for Eric Bledsoe in early November of 2017, there was a bigger picture in mind.

While other pieces had to come in the fold to fully unlock the Bucks’ long-gestating contending potential, Bledsoe has played to the team’s expectations and fortified the core of superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and later, Brook Lopez.
It’s been over the last two seasons, in particular, that Bledsoe has been able to enjoy the success he was seeking both as a team and individually as he was named to his first All-Defensive team at the end of the 2018-19 season.
Not for nothing, but Bledsoe’s commitment to the Bucks’ rise has been plain to see, especially after he signed a four-year, $70 million extension midway through last year. As long as the Bucks remain contending for an NBA title, we know Bledsoe will stand as a valuable contributor to bring home a second NBA title to the franchise.
So without further ado, let’s run through five of Eric Bledsoe’s signature performances in a Bucks uniform, shall we?
