As Chicago and Milwaukee sit 90 miles away from each other, there is a dichotomy between both present and past of their respective NBA franchises.
In the heart of the midwest, there are two very different NBA teams. One has much more expensive tickets than the other, even though they are much worse and possess much less star power. The less costly team to see, here, is the Milwaukee Bucks, who have two of their sport’s biggest celebrities in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Roughly just 90 miles south are the Chicago Bulls, who are nine games behind Milwaukee in the standings and haven’t won a playoff series since 2015.
The Fiserv Forum, where the Bucks play, is the house that Giannis built. Without his ascendance, there is no way to manufacture the consent needed for a building that cost half a billion dollars to erect, surrounded by a brand new business district. It is strange to stand in this shiny, generous space, just six years old, and know that if not for one unusually large and well-coordinated man, it could not exist. But that is how it is.
Much as the Bucks want their own edifice to carry history, too, efforts at such feel forced. These include the building’s glassy, dizzyingly large lobby hosting a gigantic Kareem Abdul-Jabbar bobblehead statue. Abdul-Jabbar was a Buck before a majority of their fans were born, and his place in mainstream NBA consciousness lies almost exclusively with the Los Angeles Lakers, who he was traded to in 1975. His time with the Bucks matters, of course.
