The Milwaukee Bucks' matchup against the Orlando Magic on Sunday certainly didn't go the way that the Bucks would have wanted after suffering a 130-91 loss, their fifth loss in six games, but at least for one dependable Milwaukee veteran, their was some history to be made in the defeat. 

Bobby Portis finished the game with 18 points and 10 rebounds in 28 minutes coming off the bench in the loss, and with that bench double-double Portis etched himself into the history books. 

It was Portis' 87th career double-double coming of the bench, passing Enes Kanter Freedom for second-most in NBA history. Portis now only trails Detlef Schrempf on the all-time list, though Schrempf has a healthy lead in that regard with 106 career bench double-doubles. 

"It was great. Just a lot of hard work and staying consistent over the years," Portis said (via Bucks). "I just pride myself on being out there on the floor and being a veteran for my team, shooting the ball with confidence."

The Bucks may be Portis' fourth team, but it's the franchise he's spent the most time with since joining Milwaukee in the 2020-21 season and in many ways he's been the heart and soul of the Bucks lineup. 

Although, Portis' role hasn't always been consistent with the Bucks. He joined the team as a role player off the bench at first, but in his next season he found himself suddenly in the starting five and started 59 of 77 games in the 2021-22 season.

His time in the starting five would dwindle again after that, steadily dropping season by season until he finally was back to starting just a handful of games per season.

Portis has always been adaptable, though. His mentality is such that he's able to be a workhorse in whatever role has been asked of him and as a result, he's been able to e a versatile asset that, among other things, helped lead the Bucks to a NBA championship in 2021. 

Portis' biggest strength when it comes to his game is without a doubt his rebounding.

Despite coming off the bench, Portis is the Bucks' second-best rebounder at 6.3 boards per game and considering that the only man ahead of him is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who's missed weeks of the season due to injury, Portis' boards stand out as the most consistently effective. 

"My mom always told me, 'Be a garbage man'. Get out the garbage basket, that's offensive rebounds, put it back where it is, and your game will grow from there," [Portis said. "So, shout out to my mom for telling me to rebound. I've got to give her the credit on that one."

Portis' prowess coming off the bench has led him receive Sixth Man of the Year attention in three of his 11 seasons, coming as close as third place in back-to-back seasons. 

The Bucks may have had a disappointing season, but Portis is someone that they've always been able to rely on, no matter if he's in the starting five or coming off the bench.
