Decent Essays
As many of my friends at Marquette had never been to a Milwaukee Bucks game, I suggested that we went to one as a group. Since everyone was excited by the idea, we went to the next pre-season game.

Like the college students we are, we got the nosebleed seats, as one can see in the attached photos, but it is still pretty easy to see the action when a lot of the players are 7 feet tall. One of these freakishly tall players is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is not only my favorite player, but also my role model.

In the end, the Buck won 107 to 103, their first and only pre-season win. As the big Bucks fan I am, I continue to try to go to games whenever possible. Currently, I have three more planned, with the next one being against the Memphis Grizzlies and I am hoping to see another Bucks win and a few more insane plays from
