MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks know an opportunity when they see one.

In the final seconds of Thursday’s NFL regular-season opener, the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens by a big toe.

Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely appeared to make a spectacular touchdown reception to force overtime (assuming an extra point is successful), but a replay confirmed he touched the tip of a foot out of bounds. No reception. Chiefs win 27-20.

The Milwaukee Bucks social media team took the opportunity to remind Bucks fans of a similar dramatic turn of events during the 2021 NBA Championship.

With one second left in Game 7 of the 2021 second-round playoff series between the Bucks and Nets, Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant made what appeared to be a game-winning three-pointer. But replay determined that KD’s toe was on the line. Milwaukee won in overtime, advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals and eventually beat Phoenix in the NBA Finals.

Thanks to Durant’s size 18 shoes, the Bucks survived and won a title.
