The story:
Sometimes life just isn’t fair. The Milwaukee Bucks sported such great teams in the early 1980s, but with legendary opponents like the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers around Milwaukee could never make it out of the East.
Then, just as Terry Cummings began to get into his prime, the Bucks main star, Sidney Moncrief, began to really struggle with leg issues. After a lengthy run of All-Star nods and other accolades, Moncrief could barely play in the 1986 NBA Playoffs.
