2021 Card-vent Calendar: December 21

December 21, 2021:
2012 Panini NBA Hoops #101 Brandon Jennings
It was five months and one day ago.  BUCKS IN SIX.

Without this man, there would have been no rallying cry, and no championship.  BUCKS IN SIX was foretold, and BUCKS IN SIX came to pass.  TWICE.  In the Eastern Conference Finals and in the NBA Finals.  
 
There was a parade in Milwaukee.  An honest-to-goodness championship parade.
NEVER IN A MILLION BILLION FUCKING YEARS.
 
Until this year, we could occasionally (sheepishly) crow about besting Detroit and Cleveland in a number of civic, economic, and educational measures.  But World Champions???

Never.  Dreaming so big was not allowed.

BUCKS IN SIX.
THANK YOU, BRANDON JENNINGS.

    B. I remember opening up a lot of 2009-10 basketball and getting excited every time I pulled a Jennings.
