Bucks Draft Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Lew Alcindor, better known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, (Alcindor changed his name in 1971 when he converted to Islam.) was the college draft pick that Milwaukee chose.  Drafted in the first round for 1969, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar brought the Bucks from last in the league to second, losing the finals in the fifth to the New York Knicks.  The drastic improvement was an unprecedented achievement, earning Jabbar the honor of NBA Rookie of the Year. 

Milwaukee Basketball Fans Enjoy The 1970's

Through the early 70's, the Bucks improved with the addition of great players.  Some of those players included Oscar Robinson, who helped them make it all the way to 1971's NBA Championship series.  Through the first half of the 70s, the Bucks were an NBA powerhouse.  In 1975, the Bucks made a move that impacted the franchise for years to come.  The surprise was a trade of Jabbar to the Lakers for four players: Elmore Smith, Junior Bridgeman, Brian Waters and David Meyers.
