- "The excitement for the Bucks throughout Wisconsin is tremendous, and we’re thrilled to be offering this new Giannis bobblehead as the Bucks continue their journey in the NBA playoffs," National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. "We think this bobblehead of Giannis will quickly become a fan favorite."

St. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, opened to the public on February 1st, 2019, and re-opened on June 1st, 2021, following a nearly 15-month closure due to COVID-19.
