When people think of the Milwaukee Bucks historically, its hard not to immediately go to the early years of their life in the NBA.

The heights that the Bucks reached during this golden era have yet to be seen again in the subsequent years and decades that have passed, though recent history has been far kinder to the Bucks in this sense.

Still, this is still a Bucks run, which featured all-time greats such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson and Bob Dandridge, that only had one NBA title to show for it.

Considering how those Milwaukee teams were viewed at the time, that would have been considered a massive disappointment under todays prism.

Leave it to Robertson to say what he thought of the Bucks falling short more often than they won titles, as he said this to On Milwaukee back in June of 2014:

Three or four rings (in that era), look, youve got play when the games on the line. You cant play 40 years later.

Ive played a lot of games in high school, a lot in college, a lot in the pros. I love to win but its a game of basketball. You cant always go back and recapture the thing. When people get into you life youve got to live today and tomorrow. You cant go back and recapture anything. Id love to do it sometime. A lot of things I think I couldve done better, but it happened.

Of course, we often take for granted the perpetual climb to simply be on the cusp of glory and reach that level of immortality, as even the slightest or overlooked moves and decisions can sink a teams championship aspirations or even lead to its eventual undoing.

So without further ado, lets run through the three biggest what if questions that hung over the Bucks glory days throughout the early 1970s.
