I was very surprised to research a little and see the Bucks 
won the NBA Title in 1971 as a 3rd year expansion team.

That is crazy...I was 16 at the time and a fan
of the "big 3 sports" but my long term memory is shot.

They had a "BIG 4" in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson, Bobby Dandridge 
and Jon McGlocklin and 1 more averaging in double figures.

I copied their main stats for anyone who wants to join me on a stroll down memory lane.

The Bucks won 27 games in their expansion year...56 games in year 2...
and 66 games in year 3 and rolled to the NBA Championship ...4-1...4-1 and 4-0.

I had to look up this "miracle" team.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar   31.7 PPG -  16.0 RB -  3.3  AST

Oscar Robertson       19.4 PPG -  5.7  RB -  8.2  AST

Bob Dandridge         18.4 PPG -  8.0  RB -  3.5  AST

Jon McGlocklin        15.8 PPG -  2.7  RB -  3.7  AST

Greg Smith            11.7 PPG -  7.2  RB -  2.8  AST

Bob Boozer             9.1 PPG -  5.4  RB -  1.6  AST

Lucius Allen           7.1 PPG -  2.5  RB -  2-6  AST

McCoy McElmore         4.7 PPG -  3.8  RB -  1.1  AST

Dick Cunningham (B/U C) 2.6 PPG - 3.4  RB -  0.6  AST
