MILWAUKEE — Much has changed in Milwaukee since the Bucks won their last NBA title a half-century ago.
Nothing reflects the differences more than the melting pot of fans swarming together outside Fiserv Forum playoff games. Fans will flock there again Sunday in hopes of helping the Bucks rally from an 0-2 deficit in the NBA Finals when they host the Phoenix Suns in Game 3.
The diversity of the crowds is striking considering Milwaukee's history.
Team President Peter Feigin backtracked five years ago after calling Milwaukee "the most segregated, racist place I've ever experienced in my life," but 49-year-old Milwaukee native LaNelle Ramey — a Black man — believes it needed to be said.
