Top 5 players from Milwaukee Bucks who could've won the NBA Championship but didn't

#3 Sidney Moncrief

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame finalist Sidney Moncrief (R) is interviewed.

Sidney Moncrief was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the fifth overall pick in the 1979 NBA draft. He spent ten seasons with the team. Although the NBA championship eluded him, Moncrief partnered with some of the best players in that era, leading the Bucks to multiple playoff appearances.

Moncrief was a defensive anchor for the Milwaukee Bucks, winning two Defensive Player of the Year awards and making five NBA All-Defensive teams. As great a defender he was, Sid the Squid was also an efficient scorer, averaging 16.7 points during his time with the Bucks. He also made five All-Star appearances between 1982 and 1986.

Despite Moncrief's efforts, the Milwaukee Bucks never got past the Eastern Conference Finals. He was part of an elite team that reached the conference finals three times between 1983 and 1986. But the Bucks fell to the Boston Celtics twice and the Philadelphia 76ers once.

While they lost the series to the Sixers (4-1), who were the eventual champions, The Bucks deserve kudos for being the only team that won a game against them in the 1983 postseason campaign.

#2 Glenn Robinson

Glenn Robinson is another Milwaukee Bucks legend who stood a good chance of winning a championship, but fell short. He was selected by the Bucks with the first overall pick in the 1994 NBA draft.

In his eight-year stint with the Milwaukee Bucks, he reached the playoffs three times, with his deepest run coming in the 2000-01 season. The Bucks fell to Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers, but made them work hard for the win. After a back-and-forth series, the Sixers emphatically won Game 7 to advance to the NBA Finals.

Robinson averaged 21.1 points, and made two All-Star appearances in his time with the Milwaukee Bucks. He won the ring in 2005, but after joining the San Antonio Spurs, though.

#1 Ray Allen

Ray Allen came close to winning the NBA championship with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Ray Allen is nowhere close to being the greatest player to represent the Milwaukee Bucks. But he was the best player in a Bucks team that came close to winning a championship. He was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft, but was immediately traded to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Although he was more successful during his time with the Boston Celtics, he played a pivotal role in helping the Milwaukee Bucks in their 2001 NBA playoffs run. He scored 41 points in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals to force a Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Allen spent six years with the Bucks, making three All-Star appearances. He shot 40.6% from the three-point range, and is the record holder of three-pointers made in NBA history.
