MILWAUKEE — Junior Bridgeman played for the Milwaukee Bucks long enough to retire as the team leader in games played and performed well enough that his jersey hangs from the Fiserv Forum rafters. Now the basketball player-turned-entrepreneur has purchased a stake in the team. The Bucks announced Bridgeman's purchase in a news conference that included co-owner Jimmy Haslam, coach Doc Rivers, general manager Jon Horst and most of the team's current players. Bridgeman said after the news conference he has a 10% stake in the team.
