Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is home to the professional basketball team, the Milwaukee Bucks. In 1968, the Milwaukee Bucks got their name from a naming contest in which more than 14,000 fans participated. The second popular option, Bucks, was selected because Bucks are spirited, good jumpers, fast, and agile. Bucks games are an entertaining experience for the whole family. Join the Milwaukee Bucks as they work to get into the NBA Finals and bring The Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy home to Milwaukee.
