Little did anyone know, when Jim Paschke and Jon McGlocklin worked their first Milwaukee Bucks game together on Oct. 31, 1986, that they would still be going strong 30 years later.
After more than 1,500 games and a few million words as a TV broadcast team, McGlocklin and Paschke are as closely identified with the franchise as any player who has donned a Bucks uniform.
Their longevity is due in equal parts to talent, passion and chemistry — the latter an elusive quality and one that can't be forced.
"I don't know how it happened, but it was pretty natural," Paschke said.
