Milwaukee Bucks: Looking Back At The 1971 NBA Finals

Almost unfortunately, there wasn’t much drama about the Milwaukee Bucks first title run in 1970-71. To put it simply, the Bucks absolutely dominated all season and postseason.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the NBA’s leading scorer, added more wins to his team than anybody else in the NBA and took home MVP honors.

The Bucks finished 66-16, still the best regular season record in franchise history. The next-best team in the NBA that season was probably the New York Knicks, who won just 52 games. The Bucks were 14 games better than the next best team.
