Drew Gooden is awesome because he is a former Jayhawk, and Kansas is one of the best college basketball programs of all time. We are not biased at all.
Whatever the case, the Milwaukee Bucks have signed Drew Gooden, so expect their awesome factor to increase just a smidge more next season.
Rock Chalk.
About the signing
Editor's note, 2026: Gooden starred at Kansas before entering the 2002 NBA draft as a high first-round pick. By the time Milwaukee signed him in the summer of 2010 he was already one of the league's most travelled big men, having played for more than half a dozen teams. He spent several seasons with the Bucks, mostly as a reliable rebounder and backup forward, before finishing his career in Washington. The Bradley Center in the photo was the Bucks' home arena at the time; it was replaced by a new arena in 2018.
