Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

There is no doubt who is the greatest player in Bucks history. It is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was drafted first overall in 1969 as Lew Alcindor. Kareem led the Bucks to their lone NBA championship in 1971 along with Oscar Robertson. He was also a three-time NBA MVP and a six-time All-Star with the Bucks.

But despite his departure from Milwaukee and spending just six seasons with the team, Kareem has the most points and rebounds in franchise history. He also ranks fourth in minutes played, seventh in assists and blocks. He also got his No. 33 jersey retired by the Bucks in 1993, four years after his retirement.

Honorable Mention: Center – Terry Cummings

Although regarded as an NBA journeyman, Terry Cummings played five seasons in Milwaukee. He was a two-time All-Star with the Bucks while also making the All-NBA Second Team in 1985 and the All-NBA Third Team in 1989. Along with Sidney Moncrief, Cummings helped the Bucks made the postseason five times during his entire tenure with the team.
