a.) Oscar Robertson, former Milwaukee Buck who in the twilight of his career helped guide the Bucks to their first and only championship. The Milwaukee Bucks are still the quickest franchise to win a championship under expansion, three years from inception.
b.) Robin Yount, former Miwaukee Brewer who helped lead the Brewers to their only World Series appearance in franchise history and played entire career in Milwaukee. Yount holds numerous individual player records for the team that will probably never be broken.
c.) Reggie White, former Green Bay Packer who was as instumental, if not more so than Brett Favre, in the Packers Super Bowl XXXI & XXXII appearances. One of the National Football Leagues 75th Anniversary All-Time Team players.
d.) Pete Knezic, a former UW-Milwaukee star from nearby Cudahy, WI was the Milwaukee Wave's leading scorer in that inaugural season, totaling 24 goals and 46 assists for 70 points. First Wave player to have number retired by team.
I can agree with a and b, but I kind of think Favre is in his own class and maybe no one else should be listed, unless we put Favre 95-97, Favre 98, Favre 2000-02, and so on. White could be on a list with Favre, but not Pete K.
