Herb Kohl reflects on Bucks ownership

Most people know that when Herb Kohl sold the Milwaukee Bucks two years ago, he pledged $100 million toward the construction of a new arena. What's not as well known is that he gave a bonus to every member of the Bucks organization and to every worker at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Ushers got $2,000 or more. Some longtime Bucks employees got enough to pay off their mortgages or to buy new homes. In total, Kohl gave away $10 million.

"The people who work at the Bradley Center, many of them are minimum-salaried people," Kohl said.
