You could also see their new uniform styles at Bucks Pro Shop. Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin received the Crystal Living Legend award from founders of the Black Inventors Gallery at a meet-and-greet with business leaders Wednesday. So when I talked to her, I said, hey, Ive got to tell you, first of all, the executive committee at Saturday morning run says, this is a good thing. What a great thing. "We didn't have much time," he says. But now, going into the future, obviously in the present now, we got fans at the games now, which I know is massive for the organization. The entire Saturday morning crew has done a few Zoom calls. Because are they getting too sophisticated too early in terms of their value enterprise? Michael Red: The podcast, as you know, is all about betting on yourself and talk about what that means to you, Peter, like betting on yourself. In many ways, you were doing a startup when you came to Milwaukee with your partners. Twin brothers Peter and David Paul are best known for their role in The Barbarians (1987). I think one of the big skills is, I definitely do not know the answer to everything and if youre able to Basically I do think I can solve anything. Antetokounmpo, now in his fifth NBA season, has become a basketball and cultural phenomenon. That is like what you live for. And Peter, now is the President of the Milwaukee Bucks and has done an incredible job over the years with the Bucks since he's landed in Milwaukee. But I'm sure [inaudible 00:30:10] the players in that process. "I got to tell you the enthusiasm Peter has brought to the city has been brought right back. If my guys in high school or college gave me the finger as the point back on the assists from a backdoor or something, I think I got more of a thrill out of that than I got out of scoring points. And the family went into the most unique times that we've ever seen in our lifetime a year ago. But you would say I kind of got to play through high school college with just grit and will and really like persistence and relentlessness. And there is no magic wand that kind of changes this in six months. Peter: Then I think youre, listen, viewer consumption, what youre talking about is whether you put on an Oculus or whether youve got five screens going up, people are now watching short form video in five to 20 second increments to absorb a game. Peter: Which people gave. It looks amazing. Being able to play ball with your son is kind of like the best of the best, Peter Feigin said. John: That is a big deal. When you show up for the first day, are you pinching yourself? You build this infrastructure and skill set that is geared toward a championship. It's kind of like the joy of, like I said, I was a rough athlete compared to the Olympian and All-Star I'm talking to. Michael Red: You talked about Coach Bud and the whole team organization, which I think Coach Bud has done a terrific job thus far. And we're going to be the No. Talk about that. And I think my job is kind of the overall business and operations to go is a rapport with them that again, in the best case I always think an NBA player, this is a human business. In his senior season, he was named the team captain, along with his twin brother Daniel, and was named the team's most improved player. My fantasy, I had two fantasies growing up. Over the years, The Run has become an indispensable part of the players weekend routines and a socioeconomic hodgepodge. Peter: Yeah, what really worked for me is I think I was just insatiably curious. Can you keep a competitive championship-caliber team across an era? I didn't need to do anything. Peter Feigin: And I think it's all how you how you go at it. You cant replicate that., https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/01/sports/pickup-basketball-new-york.html. You can always have free coffee. The way it works is they closed in April. Peter: Well, my dad was at Brooklynite so we were Mets and Jets. And I think we find it like it's a responsibility where we can set the example and we can innovate and then we can shout it from the mountaintops. I know you love gear more than anybody. "Now we have to monitor and figure out and organize the groups that travel from Greece to away games and organize the meet-and-greets after the game, which by the way, aren't scheduled. They cause matchup problems for their fathers friends. How do we make this more than equal?" Feigin's first task was evident right away. Malcolm D. Lee, who is directing Space Jam 2, which stars LeBron James, is one of the regulars in The Run. We are going to put in the notes Peters email address because he was kind enough to give us that. How do you care about it, and Jon Horst is so great on the basketball side. We were in this really awesome mode of, oh, this is a startup, like this is a startup. This kind of like, "Why are we looking at other people's metrics? Peter: Well, its having like Ive always said, people talk about their personal board of directors and what that is and I had the advantage and still have the advantage of my mother being the best consultant you could possibly have. In a Q&A with The Undefeated, Milwaukee Bucks president Peter Feigin talked about resuming the season, the business lost due to COVID-19, and much more. Engage is the go-to spot for booking talent, for speeches, custom experiences, live streams, and much more. Theyre going to look at that ring forever and remember that. He continues to build civic and business relationships around town through face-to-face interaction. Michael Red: I just, I got to start the podcast off with, before we get into our history, someone just texted me and wanted me to ask you this question. That was out the door. I really hope I get to meet you in the future. We had weekly calls. White House Chair of My Brother's Keeper Joined to Applaud Nationwide Progress. So, then you start thinking about really building a district in a small city within a city. Through Jan. 15, his PER of 29.82 was second in the league behind James Harden and just ahead of LeBron James and Stephen Curry. By the way I never wouldve said this seven years ago, I think you have to be involved. So, these guys are thrown into a world where they're responsible for everything, they assume they know everything, and what their experience is. Kind of on a team, if you surround yourself with great players, you can figure out a way to win. The first game goes to 9 points, and every game after that goes to 7. Peter Feigin: Yeah, I think it's like I take everything from athletics. Peter: Hes was in consumer products. And kudos to you guys for being cognizant of that. Michael Red: Peter, Peter Feigin. How does that boat go? The one thing that's been impressive for me, being a part of the family, is seeing how you all embrace the city. Here's my conversation with Peter Feigin. Peter: John, the best. And people like Wisconsinites are close to imagine a fast-talking New Yorker coming in and kind of standing on the soapbox promising the world and kind of great change and a great building. This is COVID, how do we do it? But the Bucks' toughest hit came off the court. Okay. We are brand marketing sales people. Make this the best operation, the best facilities and the best place to be, because we're going to go compete with everybody to win a championship. People can find it at, I saw the website, it was Cluckery, cluckery.com, right? In the face of unprecedented circumstances . Im not a big fan of, hey, we need to make money or consult off that. And have you seen that shift a little bit in the city since Milwaukee is kind of spearheading that, the Bucks? Because I talked with the Lakers guys, I talked with the Boston guys on what they had, did. Peter: I think when the opportunity came and we thought it was such a good idea, we were aiming an incredible. He perpetuates a culture that attracts like-minded people to him. Peter: I went to Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I played soccer and basketball, not overly blessed with athleticism. Peter Feigin: Michael, like I said, anytime, anywhere. Does he play defense?. John: It looks amazing. Talk about the special, the specialness of how you were involved with designing the championship ring, because theres a lot of thought that you guys put into that ring. Proud of him and all the success. Hes with us today. As you get older, its just harder to keep up with everybody, he said. Peter: its not the biggest, but it just talks about how special when you talk about in a small market, and we try to coalesce with the Brewers and the Packers as much as we can to be like the strength of these three pro teams and their players and their coaches and our coaches and GM spend a lot of time with the coaches and GMs at the Packers, which is just great. How could we keep everybody afloat as long as we possibly could? You start with whats the goal? "Instantaneously, overnight, we have 30 million people playing NBA 2K around the world, probably more, so we begin a league and we have competition on a global basis. John: I dont want to skip over that. Weve had Giannis invest in the brewers, which is like. Peter Feigin: Yeah. Mike, you get it because you lived it. Michael Red: I don't think there's anybody better. And I think the only thing anybody can control is their own effort and kind of their own dreams and where they want to go. The arena was, if the arena didnt happen, nothing happens, and that was a public-private. Today I'm talking with Peter Feigin, President of the MBA's Milwaukee Bucks and formerly Vice-President of Marketing for the New York Knicks, and Director of Marketing at Six Flags. This is probably the best hour of the week. But the best way to talk about is like I'd rather throw the pass than hit the shot. And we thought we were in a place and we're nowhere close to how good we can be or how we can use this NBA platform and our players and our organization to help change the community, to help change our performance as a team, and to be better citizens. I always think it comes back. Peter Feigin: I mean, I'll tell you an interesting story. Search Peter Feigin: So, that was and sort of weird comfort in that everybody in the world was going through it. Because, I mean, you lived here for 11 years and I guarantee you, as great as everybody was, they still thought of you as a Columbus, Ohio guy. Peter: We knew each other. Peter Feigin: Well, long story short, like, six years ago, he calls me and he says, "Hey, can you get to Milwaukee to go meet with Senator Kohl. Really surprised the 15 largest companies aren't following our lead and kind of like, "Where are they?" John: By the way, weve got with us today, Peter Feigin, hes the president of the Milwaukee Bucks. And the task at hand here is like the more successful we are on the court, the more successful we are on the business, the more opportunity we will have to do other things. But I will tell you that most cathartic incredible, awesome thing, which everybody told me and again, the collaborative is awesome. I understood what a call to action was. Michael Red: It's been wonderful to watch. He wanted to keep the team, which was a big catalyst for the whole movement.". If someone kills you, theyll give you the ball, Dan Feigin said. "Very simply, we went into the market and said, 'We're going to build this market. And until next time, I'm Michael Red. We had a, if you remember, we had a COVID extended season. It has huge value and its paid huge returns for us. Peter: Well, I always default to the Cluckery. We hired an unbelievable CFO. Giannis was like, Ill make this simple, its got to be bigger than that Lakers ring it might be, and its got to be cool. We wanted like a really cool clean design. Giannis Antetokounmpo is the gift that keeps on giving for Bucks' management. It is the "snow equivalent to STORM SHIELD" - a great new product that gives you high resolution snow forecasts for any part of the nation! We have the DNA and the strength and this caliber of championship caliber team to really be attractive to the world. Michael Red: After knowing you for the last six years, personally, two qualities stand out: Extremely funny and extremely generous. That sounds like a little piece, but that's a big piece in the world. And he said, "Yes, sir. I don't know, being able to be a business person and kind of get away from your day job and go into a data room of a pro team seemed just the greatest thing I'd ever experienced. John: Now, you married, what, wife is a native New Yorker? And I think he's going to sell the team. What a wonderful experience. So, Giannis and I have an interesting relationship and sometimes I need him, sometimes he needs me. You really need to build equity and build trust especially in the Midwest youve. I took great pride in seeing the development of downtown and what you guys were doing with the city. The people part is always tough. 2023 ERI.

For naming rights, Feiginsaid the franchise is looking for an international brand willing to spend $7 million to $10 million annually for 20 years. Michael Red: So, the Recruiter became the President basically? Then I think the big huge growth for NBA is how do we really figure out what our media is domestically and what it is internationally like in the next two years, which is changing dramatically. Before we started this interview, you took a little break and said, John excuse me for a second because someone very special stopped by. Talk a little bit about the ice cream truck, the ice cream man. Feigin, who had held executive positions at Madison Square Garden, Marquis Jet Partners and NetJets, packed up his New York home and went to Milwaukee in 2014. And at the core, I've always been a sales and marketing guy. Again, under the umbrella of collecting people and really having experience in a big way. It became such a healthy place to be.. It's hard to build trust here and it's provincial. But usually, The Run comprises a core group of 15 to 20 players who range from 16 to 58 years old. Peter: My wifes a native New Yorker. Go to the Cluckery. Peter: We like to be, delusionally optimistic. But for us, it's kind of like, "How do we make an equal playing field?

Peter Feigin, the president of the Milwaukee Bucks, playing defense. And that's kind of like you do it with great people around you.
