If the Bucks were Milwaukee Public Museum exhibits, which would they be? Here's what the museum thinks.

If Milwaukee Bucks players were Milwaukee Public Museum exhibits, which ones would they be? The museum took to Twitter to share what they think and why ahead of the team's season opener in Philadelphia on Thursday.

In a Twitter thread, the museum paired seven of its exhibits with seven players, including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis.

Here are some of the highlights. Think they got it right?

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Hell Creek

"The ferocity and awe you feel at the dino display Hell Creek is a lot like watching the best player in basketball sprint into the paint," the museum tweeted. "There’s no stopping Giannis or a T. rex."

Antetokounmpo's remarkable career includes two MVPs, six all-star appearances, an All-Star Game MVP, a defensive player of the year award and four first-team all-defense selections.

Just three weeks removed from a hyperextended knee, the superstar had a 50-point performance in a 105-98 victory against the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 of the 2021 NBA Finals. That win gave the Bucks a 4-2 series victory over the Suns.

Name something more ferocious or awe-inspiring than that. We'll wait.

Khris Middleton and American Crocodile (Mangrove Thickets, North America)

"Do aggressive crocodiles double as elite shot creators? We’d hate to find out," the museum tweeted. "These reptiles from the Everglades are agile, and not afraid to attack. Get well soon, Khris!"

This is Middleton’s 10th season with the Bucks. He has won both an Olympic gold medal and an NBA championship. He broke Hall of Famer Ray Allen’s franchise record for made three-pointers.

He could become the Bucks’ No. 3 all-time leading scorer this season, according to a previous Journal Sentinel report. But he'll be starting off the season from the sidelines. He suffered a torn scapholunate ligament in his left wrist late last season, which required surgery.

Bobby Portis and Caribou (Arctic)

"Sometimes you need a big buck to lock antlers and flash some strength during the cold months," the museum tweeted. "In that way, we know you can’t do better than Bobby Portis as the heart and soul of your team."

Cue the "Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!" chants.

Portis is the face of the city. He's been called the "Mayor of Milwaukee" and "The People’s Champ."

This is the start of his third season and third contract with the Bucks in less than two calendar years.

The museum's other pairings included: Jrue Holiday and Jaguar (Costa Rican Rainforest, Exploring Life on Earth); Brook Lopez and Hebior Mammoth; Wesley Matthews and Wolverine (Wisconsin Woodlands); and Pat Connaughton and Red-Tailed Hawk (Wisconsin Woodlands).
