Former Buck Junior Bridgeman passed away at 71 today. He had a heart attack at an event in Louisville. Bridgeman became part owner of the Bucks last year and recently became a billionaire. Great guy and always a pilar of the community.
Bridgeman was in the NBA for 12 years, 10 of those with the Bucks. Averaged 13.6 ppg for his career.

Really sad to hear. From all accounts, he was a great guy.
Junior worked really hard off the court to build his business, and I think he started with Wendy's franchises that eventually led to his being a NBA owner.
Not sure a lot of players would want to spend offseason working in a Wendy's, but it sure paid off for Junior.
