Bucks react to NBA 2K’s incredible news involving Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks aren’t considered a big-market team, but they clearly are a popular franchise among basketball fans, especially in the era of two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo.

That popularity is further underscored by an announcement made by video game franchise NBA 2k, which revealed that the Bucks are the most selected franchise in the game’s My Career mode.

The Bucks appreciated that post, as they commented on it, saying, “love to see it.”

There must be something about Milwaukee that makes the team so attractive for players of the game to begin such a journey with. It could be the presence of Antetokounmpo or just the mere challenge of steering a mid-market team to virtual NBA glory.

In any case, it is a welcome development for Milwaukee, which hopes to reach the top of the league again in reality.

Can the Bucks sustain their newfound form?

The Bucks, who won a league championship in 2021 by defeating the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals, are currently having a hard time winning consistently. They are way below the .500 mark with a 14-19 record at the time of this writing. However, there is still so much in front of Milwaukee, as the team hopes to turn things around and make the NBA Playoffs down the road.

The Bucks may already be starting that turnaround, as they are on a two-game winning streak after wins against the Chicago Bulls and the Charlotte Hornets to close out a road trip recently.
