NBA 2K19: 1970-1971 Milwaukee Bucks Player Ratings and Roster

If you want to talk about a dominating roster, the 70-71 Milwaukee Bucks are the ones to look at. With a record of 66-16 during their season under Larry Costello, the Bucks completely swept the regular season and post-season, dismantling both the LA Lakers and SF Warriors 4-1 each, before laughing the Baltimore Bullets off the court 4-0 in the NBA Finals.
