Milwaukee Bucks Win First NBA Championship in 50 Years

Two-time MVP and Milwaukee fan favorite Giannis Antetokuonmpo scored 50 points against the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 of the NBA finals on Tuesday night, giving them their first league title in 50 years, and only their second in franchise history.

The last time the Bucks won an NBA title their franchise was only 3 years old and anchored by such legends as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robinson.

Team USA Gets First Win of the Tokyo Olympics Shutting Out Italy in Softball Opener

The opening ceremony hasn’t happened yet but team USA has already notched its first win of the games beating Italy 2-0 in the Games’ first day of competition.

The USA softball team came into this year’s games with something to prove after failing to win gold for the first time in Olympic history in 2008 and then seeing softball scratched as a sport in the 2012 and 2016 games. Several other events will have taken place by press time including the U.S. women’s soccer team’s showdown with Sweden on Wednesday. Sweden eliminated the U.S. at the 2016 Rio games, preventing them from medaling for the first time in Women’s Olympic soccer history.
