Twenty-five years ago, the Milwaukee Bucks entered the season with star power, expectations, and a city ready to believe again.
Narrated by Bucks broadcasting legend Jim Paschke, Episode 1 of Light It Up tells the origin story of the 2000-01 Bucks and their unforgettable Big Three: Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson, Ray Allen, and Sam Cassell.
From Robinson’s arrival as the No. 1 pick, to the draft-night trade that brought Allen to Milwaukee, to Cassell’s championship swagger and George Karl’s fiery leadership, this episode traces how a talented but unproven team began its transformation into a contender.
But before the Bucks could make their deepest playoff run in 27 years, they had to survive the pressure, criticism, and early-season turmoil that threatened to tear it all apart.
