Milwaukee Uncut

Peter took over as team President following a 15-67 season. The team played in the Bradley Center, there was no Deer District and they hadn’t made it past the first round of the playoffs in 13 years. 

Four years later the Fiserv opened, three years after the Larry O’Brien trophy made its way to Milwaukee for the first time in 50 years (since 1971). 

Peter has an amazing backstory and some hilarious untold Bucks stories we cover: 

• First impressions of coming to Milwaukee in 2014
