A Note from Joel Whitburn:

“I waited 50 years for this: the return of my Milwaukee Bucks to the ‘top of the NBA charts’ as World Champions!  Through all those years, including our lean ones, they have always been my #1 team.  And this year, they showed in winning 16 playoff games that they are, indeed, the #1 team in the world!  This hardworking, never-quitting team reflects our city in always doing their job,  without flashiness or drama, but with a whole lot of determination and excellence!  It was an exciting series played hard by great teams, especially the Phoenix Suns.  To my Milwaukee Bucks, well done and congratulations!  I never doubted.
