The Milwaukee Bucks had their championship parade and, as one would expect, it was a party for the fans, the staff, and the players. Plenty of fans noticed the joy and fun that was had, but let’s talk about the notables:
Brandon Jennings
The prophet himself was enjoying the opportunity to be a part of something special. His message ‘Bucks in Six’ came true and the fact the Bucks organization embraced and brought him back to be a part of it was a classy move on their part. Jennings being in the parade, chugging and doing a Triple H special on the back of a pickup truck was top notch work. 10/10.

Marques Johnson
Another Bucks legend ownership brought back into the fold and honestly, he’s fit enough to still drop 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists on you. Today. 10/10.

Thanasis Antetokounmpo
Thanasis was in the league’s COVID protocol, which prevented him from being on the bench for Games 5 and 6 and joining the initial celebrations. For the parade, he was able to be a part of it, but had to stay in his own car.
So glad @Thanasis_ante43 is in the parade. He’s following the buses - but he is quarantined so he’s in his own car alone. He’s live streaming on Instagram pic.twitter.com/0oou5r51w6

No worries though, as he still celebrated just as hard as he plays on the court. 20/10
You couldn’t stop Thanasis Antetokounmpo, the biggest hype man on the Milwaukee #Bucks, from celebrating - despite not being able to ride on the team busses during the Championship Parade due to COVID protocol.

Jeff Teague, Bryn Forbes, Pat Connaughton, Bobby Portis
The bench mob each had their key moments to bringing the Bucks a title this postseason. They enjoyed their time on stage (starts at 2:11 in the video below), Jeff Teague brought a top-tier quote, Pat’s shades are the kind you wear when you party too hard and need to dim the sunlight, and I need the belt Bobby has. 25/10.
️ Jeff Teague, Bryn Forbes, Pat Connaughton and Bobby Portis! ️

Jamie Dinan
I’ve never heard this man speak but he brought the energy and wants more. 30/10.
@OldTakesExposed FILE IT— You knew it was coming.... @Bucks owner, Jamie Dinan just did a "Coach Riles" and "prophesied" another championship for the Bucks next year.

Mike Budenholzer
There’s not great video evidence but let’s just say Bud was glad to be a champion and had some fire kicks. 40/10.

Top-tier trolling from the Finals MVP. 50/10.

Whether you were at the parade or watched it at home, I hope you were all able to soak in the experience. If not the champagne.
