With the kick-off to the 2023-24 NBA season last night, few words can cause a stir of excitement quite like the phrase, “Bobby’s back.” That’s right, Bucks big man, fan favorite and Milwaukee’s Official Hype Man Bobby Portis is back and ready for action as the Bucks begin their hunt for a second title in four years. With a reloaded roster featuring an exciting new phenom, a Defensive Player of the Year finalist and a perennial MVP candidate, Bobby and the Bucks are primed to take the season by storm.

Just before training camp, the Sixth Man of the Year hopeful took us on a tour of his favorite local spots around town, and we want you to come along for the ride! Join us as we get local with Bobby Portis!
