The Bucks have finally got over the line.
They've been so close before, finishing as the Eastern Conference number one seed in the past two seasons.
But, it's the play-offs where they've come unstuck.
The 2018-19 season saw them lose out to eventual champions Toronto Raptors in the Western Conference finals, with the Miami Heat winning the conference semi-final last season.
Led by two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and his surrounding cast of All-Star Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday and PJ Tucker, the Bucks got the job done.
Their play-off run started with a 4-0 sweep of last year's finalists the Miami Heat, which led to a semi-final meeting with the star-studded Brooklyn Nets.
Before their semi-final it looked a clear path to the final for Brooklyn, with All-Star trio Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden surely going to lead them to victory.
But, injuries to Irving and Harden gave the Bucks the upper hand and saw them take a 4-3 series victory.
They came up against the Atalanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference finals, with talisman Trae Young leading the opposition attack.
Again injuries were pivotal to this series, but this time the Bucks suffered as well.
A knee injury to Antetokounmpo in game four with the series tied at 2-2 could have led to another play-off heartbreak for Milwaukee.
But Mike Budenholzer's roster pulled together for back-to-back wins to clinch their place in the NBA Finals.
There's no time frame on Antetokounmpo's absence from the team, but for the moment the Bucks will most likely look to Middleton to lead them.
