The Milwaukee Bucks' season in a nutshell.

More like in a nut shelling.

has anybody here ever actually been to a bucks game? bango does that "fall through the hoop" thing all the time. sometimes he dunks and stands on the rim and "falls through"...it's just a gimmick.

him getting hit in the crotch, though, was pretty funny.

Apparently, though, in this case, Bango blew his knee out.

the video kind of looks like he meant to fall through. Was the knee injury just an accident or did he in fact accidentally fall through?

Whats worse.. the crotch shot or breaking a knee? I think Bango has chronic wasting disease and needs to be put down. I'm sure he can be stuffed and mounted in Herb Kohl's office (hehehehe=gay joke) right between The Big Dog and Todd Day.

Don't you worry though—Bango is a gamer.

    While gazelle-like dunks and agile maneuvers around the court will be impossible for a time, the heart of Bucks game-night entertainment and the emotional leader of Bucks fans of all ages will continue to lead fan enthusiasm at home games. He will miss few – if any – home games, and the Energee! Dance team, Hoop Troop, Rim Rockers, Air Bango, Super Force, and newly formed Bucks Wild! percussion drumline will continue to fill the court in support of Bango."

Just as a side note: would it be possible for the Bucks to squeeze more annoyingly peppy people on to the court during a time out? Is this an NBA game or "America's Got Talent"?
