You could be forgiven if you’ve long since forgotten the last time Ersan Ilyasova suited up for the Milwaukee Bucks.
In fact, I’ll apologize in advance as you may even have spent the past three-and-a-half years trying to forget about it.
It wasn’t Ilyasova’s fault — in fact he arguably played as well as any Buck on the night — but Milwaukee suffered a 54-point humiliation at the hands of their rival Chicago Bulls, sealing their elimination in what was a six-game, first round playoff series.
That final result was certainly a major disappointment, particularly after wins in Games 4 and 5, but on the whole the playoff experience came as a hugely positive surprise at the end of what was expected to be a rebuilding season.
