Mr. Cornwell!

My curiosity had grown too great, so I had to ask- are you aware of the profound inspiration the tv series of Last Kingdom has had on the Milwaukee Bucks organization in the NBA, specifically Jrue Holiday? Holiday has taken it on himself to evangelize his teammates to watch the show. It’s taken a strong root in the meme culture of the team right now as it makes another playoff runs, destiny is all, t shirts with players super imposed on the shield walls- the whole thing has been featured in local news and recurring in social media many times over.

I’m a Milwaukee resident (and lifelong Bucks fan) so to see this intersection of two beloved interests was an auspicious and unexpected delight. If the tales of Uhtred and company can help spark my team to back to back league championships, I will owe you an even larger debt of gratitude beyond your wonderful writings.
