Milwaukee Bucks: Cole Anthony Gives Love to His Father’s Time With Bucks With Jersey Number Choice, to Wear No. 50 This Season

Greg Anthony spent nine seasons in the NBA with the Bucks as his last destination. He played for the Deers in 2022, averaging 7.2 points in 24 games. Cole was around two years old that year.

It is now his son’s turn to suit up for Milwaukee and he will wear #50 on his jersey, the same number the father used during his time. It was also the same number he had while with the Orlando Magic.

The Bucks social media team went hard in announcing it.

Fans are pumped for Cole.

Cole Anthony might have a better time in Milwaukee

Same jersey number but there is a chance that Cole will have a better time than his father did.

General manager Jon Horst raved about their acquisition of Cole who he said can be their guard version of Bobby Portis. He even said that the younger Anthony can be a starter based on their own study of his game.

“I think he could have a huge shooting year, which would be massive for him and us. And he’s just got an edge to him,”

“I hope he takes this as an affectionate thing, and this is true, when I saw the idea of Cole Anthony, him being free and our chance to get him, I think he’s like a guard version of Bobby Portis. I think he can bring so much swag and energy to our team.”
