A troll decided to mess around with an Eric Bledsoe Instagram photo. However, the Milwaukee Bucks guard had the last laugh.
Via Instagram, Bledsoe posted a photo of himself walking and captioned it “Kingston.” Some wiseguy asked him where he's going an brought up the Bucks' playoff loss a few months ago. Bledsoe responded savagely to the troll. Peep the screenshot below:
It is true that the Bucks were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals in six games by the Toronto Raptors. Yet this doesn't take away the fact that the 60-win Bucks squad achieved great success. Apart from being the best regular season team, the last time the Bucks were in the Conference Finals was back in the 2000-2001 season.
Bledsoe himself formed a big part of the Bucks' impressive 2018-2019 campaign. He averaged 15.9 points per game, 5.5 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.5 steals.
Due to his efforts, the Bucks saw him as an intrinsic part of their future. On March, he inked a four-year, $70 million contract extension. The Bucks were dead on with their gut feel with Bledsoe as he was named to the NBA All-Defensive First team for the first time in his career.
In the end, despite the Bucks' failure to extend their regular season success to the postseason, they can still call it a successful campaign. And Bledsoe was certainly a big part of it.
