It's been 50 years for me. I attended the two games played in Milwaukee. Kareem dominated the Bullets on the boards, and couldn't miss from the field in the first game. The Bucks came to play defense in that one, and it worked. In game 3, the Bullets boxed Kareem in. Bobby D and the Big O went to work, dumping in shots from around the key, and continued to play defense. It was pure domination in both games, as far as I was concerned. The Bucks just plain were the best team in the NBA by a wide margin that year, because of Kareem.
I remember, after that, in the early 70s, sitting and watching the playoff games with my Cousin, out in California. We were both big time Bucks fans. We'd go through a few beers during each one, and grill out afterwards. We didn't quite make it, getting a ring during those years, but it was nice enjoying the games with someone who's close. In 1976, he had car trouble on a mountain road, was walking to get help, and was struck and killed by a

driver.
Every time I watch a game. I think he's there, sitting on the sofa, watching it with me.
