Eight-time NBA all star Bob Lanier, who died Tuesday at age 73, joined the Milwaukee Bucks via trade in February 1980 after beginning his pro career with the Detroit Pistons, who selected the 6-foot-10 big man with the first pick in the 1970 NBA draft. 

Take a look back at some of the highlights from Lanier's four-plus seasons with Milwaukee:
