It’s been nearly five full decades since the Milwaukee Bucks last sent three players to the All-Star Game in a season, during the 1974-75 campaign, when Kareem, Bob Dandridge and Jim Price were all named All-Stars. Since then, the Bucks have had 11 seasons in which two players have been named All-Stars, but never three or more.
Can this drought end in the upcoming 2024-25 NBA season? That’s the question asked by the X Bucks Lead account.
The Bucks have had 3 All-Stars in the same season only once in franchise history (Kareem, Bob Dandridge, Jim Price in 1974-75). Could it happen this season? 👀

The Bucks are on a roll, as two Milwaukee players have been named to the All-Star Game in each of the last three seasons. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard were named last season. At this point in his career, Antetokounmpo seems like a sure-fire All-Star prospect unless he gets injured or something grave happens that could derail his season.
Lillard has been an All-Star eight times. At 34, his play could decline even more next season, but he’s still one of the league’s best defenders. Meanwhile, Khris Middleton is a three-time All-Star who hasn’t played in a midseason exhibition game the past two campaigns. A well and sturdy bounce-back season could see him return to All-Star status. The team’s long-shot All-Stars include players like Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis.
