Jason Kidd: Bucks who visited strip club lack professionalism
The Milwaukee Bucks are still very much a developing team.
That means for every glimmer of promise, there's an equivalent transgression, and that mistake by the Bucks was apparently heading to the strip club the night before game day.
TMZ released footage showing Bucks players O.J. Mayo, Khris Middleton, Greg Monroe, and Miles Plumlee at a strip club in Los Angeles after their 113-95 drubbing at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers.
On Wednesday, Kidd called out his players for their lack of responsibility.

Perhaps the Bucks were celebrating their unlikely victory over the undefeated Golden State Warriors two days prior. But with a road game the next day, hitting the club until 2 a.m. wasn't exactly the smartest idea - especially for Monroe who's battling a knee injury.
Those four players caught an earful from Kidd, but they won't face any further punishment.
