04.08.2021: George Karl swings by to talk 2001; plus, Giannis' knee and Jrue's huge week

Author: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel April 8, 2021 Duration: 54:22
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Bucks writer Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss where the concern-o-meter should be with Giannis Antetokounmpo's balky knee and Jrue Holiday's massive week. He's on an elite level right now; is the extension he just signed with the Bucks a risk down the road? Also, Khris Middleton has been a bit of a lightning rod, but is it warranted?

Then, Jim chats with former Bucks coach George Karl (34:15), who looks back at the 2001 season on its 20th anniversary and reveals the one thing he wish he'd done differently in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. 

The guys finally ponder why 2001 endures as it does in the collective memory of Bucks fans. 

 Music intro produced by Olivia Reiner and voiced by Michelle Rutkowski.
