Episode 3 of Bucks vs. the World follows the second game of the 1987 McDonald’s Open, as the Soviet Union national team faces EuroLeague champion Tracer Milan and quickly establishes itself as the tournament’s most formidable force. Narrated by Charlie Berens, the episode explores how the lopsided matchup shocked fans and media who had just seen Tracer push the Bucks to the brink. After the game, attention shifts from curiosity to anxiety — and anticipation for the tournament finale begins to build. The story then widens to examine the Cold War context surrounding the Soviet team’s arrival, including the legacy of the controversial 1972 Olympic gold medal game and the political realities shaping the lives of the USSR’s players and their legendary head coach, Alexander Gomelsky. As the spirit of glasnost begins to emerge, Episode 3 captures a rare moment when sport, politics, and history collided — and when the Bucks realized they were about to represent far more than Milwaukee on the court. 🎧 About the Series Bucks vs. the World is season 6 of Behind the Bucks, a documentary-style podcast series produced by Bucks+, the official podcast network of the Milwaukee Bucks. 🎙️ Narrated by Charlie Berens.
