I met Yi Jianlian because of him, a three-point shooter with a flying knife in his left hand, and a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics!

Michael Redd was selected by the Bucks at the 43rd pick in the second round in 2000 to announce his retirement in 2013, and has scored more than $137 million in his career after 17 seasons. However, he is always regarded as an "underrated sharpshooter." His career trajectory combines amazing shots, key hits and devastating knee injuries, leaving a legendary chapter in the league. Reed, who graduated from Orlando University, became the Bucks' 43rd pick by-election in the 2000 NBA Draft because Lavopst was intercepted by the Knicks in the 39th overall pick, which was also the starting point of his career. From the rookie season to the 2001-02 season, Reed only played 15 times and averaged 2.9 minutes per game, but was reimbursed for the season due to patellar tendonitis on the left knee. He returned to the final game and scored 5 points in 20 minutes and missed the game in the subsequent playoffs. In the 2001-02 season, Reed replaced Ray Allen as the starting substitute, averaging 11.4 points per game and a three-point shooting percentage of 44.4%, becoming one of the most deadly fixed-point shooters in the league at that time. In the 2002-03 season, he continued to shoot efficiently, proving his strength again with 15.1 points and 43.4% three-point shooting percentage.

The real outbreak occurred in the 2003-04 season. Reed shouldered the Bucks' offensive responsibility, and averaged 21.7 points per game. He was selected as the All-Star in 2004, and helped the team achieve a 41-win Eastern Conference record. Although he lost 1-4 to the season's champion Pistons in the first round, his personal average score was as high as 18 points, with a real shooting percentage of 48.8%, showing his all-around scorer.

Relying on his outstanding performance, Reed signed a six-year, $91 million maximum salary renewal with the Bucks in the summer of 2005. During the contract period, he scored 23.0, 25.4 and a career-high 26.7 points respectively, ranking at the top of the league's scoring list and completely entered the "Reed era".

Reed also created a feat of 9 three-pointers in a single quarter - on January 23, 2002, he scored 9 three-pointers in a single quarter, breaking his record of 8 three-pointers in a single quarter. This record was not refreshed until Klay Thompson in 2015.

Despite his scoring, injuries became the biggest constraint in his career. On January 25, 2009, he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament of his left knee in the game against the Lakers, and was reimbursed for the season. He left the court again due to an old injury in just 18 games after his return, completely losing his peak form. Since then, he has played for the Suns, Clippers and Nuggets, with his average score dropping to single digits and announced his retirement on October 7, 2013. At the national team level, Reed was an important member of the "Avengers" of the American team in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning the gold medal side by side with Kobe, James and Wade. After the game, he publicly stated that this Olympic gold medal is the best addition to the "NBA career".

Looking at Reed's 2017 NBA career, he signed a total of six contracts, with a total salary of about $137 million; personal honors include an All-Star, a first-team Best Rookie, a Nomination for the Best Sixth Person in 2006, and a 2008 Olympic Gold Medal. He wrote the most glorious chapter for the Bucks with perseverance and precision, and became one of the most memorable scorers in the "small market" team.
