Lights dim, and a song sounding similar to "Miami" by Will Smith starts to pipe in through the speakers...
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Mil Wau Kee, uh, uh
Wisconsin, bringin the chill, uh
Haha, can y'all feel that
Can y'all feel that
Buck it out, uh
Here I am in the place where I come let go
Milwaukee the team and the powder snow
Everyday like a draft lotto, everybody draftin' all day
More Phills less (Todd) Day, okay
So TB dribble up the court, do a lay-up drill
He an Jalen at the point makin that stat sheet fill
Nothin less than ill, when we shoot to kill
Everytime the guards pass, they be like Hi Will (Maukie)
Can y'all feel me, all ages and ratings
All guards creating
Every different persuasion, Lithuanian, Romanian, Yugoslavian
Black, White, Jalen, and Caucasian
Rick Fox only came from Toronto for playin
But traded to a town that'll get a QB named Peyton
Then Carolina's Charlotte to spend a few days in
Milwaukee the city that kept him cravin
[Chorus:]
Playin in the city where the Bucks will win
All night, on the court till the buzzer bleetin
Welcome to Milwaukee
Buenvenidos a Milwaukee
Bouncin on the court where the paint is green
All night, shootin' 3's like we OP'in
I'm goin to Milwaukee
Welcome to Milwaukee
Yo I heard the snowstorms ain't nothin to mess with
But I can't feel a chill doing drills, it's a thrill
Big Z reboundin, paint poundin
Teammates be screamin out, (Z we loved your last Camp)
So I was thinkin Vlade was a goner
From this artic northern anti-sauna
Hottest ticket in the city, and it's right courtside
Atmosphere get to ya, it's about to provide
thousands a cheers
None of those fears, ain't those tankin years
Screamin (AII LOTTERY)
Everytime he come to halfcourt, they be pressin TB
Behind the arc really, ain't no stoppin the 3
So, sign your contract
We grow, potential don't slow
Green to Blue, Look at Jalen go
Yo, ain't no team in the league like this
An if you ask how I know I gots ta plead the fifth
[Chorus]
Don't get me wrong, Chi-town got it goin on
An New York was the city til that trade made em shitty
An we all know that L.A. and Dallas stay jiggy
But on the sneak, Milwaukee bringin heat for real
Y'all don't understand
I never seen so many jelly GMs actin like fans with their dicks in their hands
Fappin' to George Muresan
Take a walk on the street, jerseys read Brian Grant
You gonna enjoy this band
Damn, they look sexy
Let's go to my box, get a little bit tipsy
On Wisconsin Brewskis, loungin in the VIPs
Cause you gotta be more thirsty drink some tea, it's on me
Game so fun, you can't wait to see the next one
All-star ballot nominations, e'ybody got some
Ain't no surprise to see Detroit sweatin' at home
Milwaukee take the Central throne...
[Chorus to fade]
Lights turn back on and everyone stares in shock at GM Ian Quailmen as he is lowered from the high-roofed ceiling with a harness.
GM Quailmen: I hope you enjoyed our new team hype song. We put many hours of creativity (and court hours settling with Mr. Smith) into that tune... you'll be hearing it all season long!
GM Quailmen: Now we'll make this one short and sweet, as we'd like to open the floor to questions before the season starts up. First and foremost, a short reflection on our previous season. It was quite tumultuous in the amount of turnaround. Players came in and out of Milwaukee last offseason and throughout the season. But when the dust finally settled, we had a team that made a serious post-season push. We upset the Pacers in Round 1 4-2; another classic against our division foe. In Round 2, we faced off with the recently (although not soon enough) castrated New York Knicks, where we took them to 6 games... 2 of which were 1-pt losses. Chalk that up to inexperience! But now we look forward, as the future has done a good job of presenting itself to us today.
GM Quailmen: We brought in some new talent this offseason at the expense of a few others. Eric Murdock, Gheorghe Muresan, Dino Radja were all brought in to shore up our depth left somewhat vacant by the departures of Vlade Divac and Tharon Mayes. We are really excited about this season and what lies ahead of us. After last season, just making the playoffs won't make us happy. We are gunning for the division crown.
GM Quailmen: With that, I open the floor up to questions! |

Nick Melon; Charlotte Observer: Ever the showman and entertainer you are. With all the changed and the deep depth of talent in Milwaukee, would you consider yourself the favorites to win the division and if not, who do you see that could be viable challengers?

GM Quailmen: Thank you, kind sir. I do not necessarily consider us favorites, but we do have a chance to take the throne. The teams that have a good shot at competing for it are the Bulls, Cavs, Pacers, Pistons, and Hawks; they all pose threats to it. If that GM Nick Malone can pull this one out of his butt, he'll have my vote for GMOY, but at the moment, I don't think they'll stand much of a chance against the sheer force of the Central Division. |

Johnny Junior, The Washington Post: After a very strange period that saw Jalen Rose (and a few others) take a vacation in North Carolina, your team really stepped it up in the postseason, Rose in particular. After his playoff performance and yet another strong TC, has Jalen finally proven his worth to the front office, and cemented his status as the team's centerpiece?

Nick Melon; Charlotte Observer: We understood that there was a campaign out of Milwaukee also that was urging the SLOE powers that be that Charlotte's GM, Nick Malone, should be the next GMOY even during the preseason and this past offseason for the season of 1997-98 after some of the moves he made. Why would that be the case?

Why would that be the case? GM Quailmen: I'm not sure what you are referring to. No one associated with the Bucks would be absurd enough to Pimp Out another team's GM, especially one of a division foe. Then again, there are rumors (emphasis on rumors) regarding Theo's return to Milwaukee. Someone even said Derek Fisher may even return. These are new to me. |

After his playoff performance and yet another strong TC, has Jalen finally proven his worth to the front office, and cemented his status as the team's centerpiece? Quailmen: Thanks, Johnny Junior. Actually, Rose (due to some injury issues and matchups) struggled a bit during the playoffs, but I think his inexperience also had to do with it. Despite some mental lapses that are expected of young veterans like Jalen, we loved what we saw. He took that momentum into the offseason and had a great training camp. As for being a centerpiece, we don't really have one centerpiece. In Milwaukee, we have decided to go the route of consummate team-ball. No one individual is bigger than the team, and all of our guys have really bought into that. |

Jack Markson from The Golden Take. Do you agree with the consensus of the league that you have the best chance to knock off the Celtics this season in the East? Do you think Big Z can hold down Zo?

Quailmen: Thanks Markson. That's a big compliment if what your claiming is true. Obviously everyone has their sights set on beating Boston, but let's not forget the Wizards have a history of making moves to be winners. Their GM, while the nicest in the league, can make some sneaky good moves (like acquiring Grant last year). As for Big Z holding down Zo, we are taking Big Z's progression slowly. He's made great strides in the last two offseasons, and we cannot wait to see how he develops. He's going to be a major cog in our machine. |
