The Mayor had one last meet-and-greet with his constituents.
Bobby Portis, who had sky-high approval ratings during his six-season run with the Milwaukee Bucks, set up in a pop-up shop at the HYPEBOYS streetwear store on Wisconsin Ave. for three hours on July 8.
Predictably, fans lined up in their No. 9 jerseys and “Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!” t-shirts for over a hour before Portis arrived in a Mercedes SUV. They were also quick to scoop up some of Portis’ Underdog gear before he leaves town for good. “The People’s Champ” – a key emotional piece in the Bucks’ 2021 NBA championship run – is on the move to the Miami Heat as part of the massive trade that included Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“Just fan appreciation,” Portis said in between signing items. “Obviously being somewhere so long, especially six years in a community that you called your own.
“Kind of wanted just to send it out the right way. Obviously when you change teams and things like that it’s a new era.”
