Milwaukee Bucks History: 1981, Milwaukee’s Last 60 Win Season

Winning 60 games in a single season is incredibly hard to do in the NBA. Now that the Golden State Warriors might push for 80 wins next season it’s easy to forget, but 60 wins is a huge milestone for talented teams to surpass.

The Milwaukee Bucks have only hit 60 wins four times throughout team history. Three of them happened consecutively, back when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the man in the middle in Milwaukee.

Since Kareem left the Bucks, only one Bucks team has won 60 games in a season. The 1980-81 Milwaukee Bucks were the first–and last–Bucks team in the post-Kareem era to hit that mark.
