Patrick Glogovsky remembers when he made his proclamation.
It was November 2021, the Milwaukee Bucks were holding a ring ceremony for its employees inside the atrium of Fiserv Forum after winning its second NBA Finals. The 2020 Marquette University graduate walked up to take his photo with Bucks President Peter Feigin and General Manager Jon Hurst.
“I said to Peter, ‘the next time that we’ll be up here will be for Bucks Gaming,’” Glogovsky said. “And he said ‘sounds good.’”
It was bold. He had just taken over as General Manager of Bucks Gaming, the affiliated NBA 2K League team of the Bucks, and was working to rebuild a team that went 6-22 the previous season.
