41 years ago today, the Milwaukee Bucks sported three of their best players in franchise history: Bob Dandridge, Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Jabbar, of course, played much of his Bucks years under the moniker Lew Alcindor.
But by his team's 1974 Finals appearance against the Boston Celtics, he was Mr. Jabbar, and he was one of the most feared scorers of all time.
