Built for This: The Milwaukee Bucks' Historic Run to the 2021 NBA Title

Rate this book
History has been made in unforgettable fashion as the Milwaukee Bucks triumphed over the Phoenix Suns in the 2021 NBA Finals, bringing the first title to the Cream City in 50 years.

Coming off playoff disappointments in 2019 and 2020 and with the addition of point guard Jrue Holiday in the offseason, the stakes were high for the Bucks entering the 2020-2021 campaign. While homegrown superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo put the entire state of Wisconsin at ease by signing a long-term extension with the Bucks, the pressure was on to end the long championship drought.

Built For The Milwaukee Bucks' Historic Run to the 2021 NBA Title chronicles this amazing journey through in-depth analysis and expert insight from The Athletic . With coverage from both national and local writers, as well as dynamic photography, this commemorative edition traces every step as the Bucks looked to capture the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the second time in team history.

Built For This also features detailed postseason coverage, from the sweet sweep of the Miami Heat to the slugfest against Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets, to the Giannis injury scare in the Atlanta Hawks series all the way through the amazing comeback win against the Suns on the biggest stage of all.

Also including in-depth profiles on Antetokounmpo, Holiday, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez and more, this keepsake will be essential for any Bucks fan for years to come.

I had to look back at the 2021 run to the NBA championship the Milwaukee Bucks had. Absolutely amazing how they overcame so much to bring home a title to Milwaukee! Truly miss this amazing team. Forever will remember the greats of Jrue Holiday, Khash Money Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, and of course the MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the rest of this amazing squad!

Utterly bizarre formatting aside, Eric Nehm is a terrific beat writer.
