Eric Bledsoe. You only have to speak his name for Bucks fans to have feelings. None of them the same.
Inside us all a battle wages, a battle of head versus heart. Eric Bledsoe’s game can be uplifting and it can be head-scratching, even in the same quarter.
In one moment, he’s a dynamo blasting past his defender to the basket for an easy lay-in. In another, he’s a defensive whiz, willing the entire team to victory on heady play and pure fire. We convince ourselves he can’t shoot as he passes up open threes but then he hits the big (wobbly) shot to send us into overtime.
