Special Olympics athletes shoot hoops with former Bucks player Fred Roberts

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee Bucks and Gruber Law Offices brought together 60 Special Olympics athletes with former Bucks player Fred Roberts. 

Roberts played with the Bucks from 1987-1992. 

He told us it brings him joy to see the athletes have fun.

"It's always a win for them. They come here, they get to play on a basketball court, they're happy, they make a shot, they're thrilled, and I'm thrilled for them, and some of these guys are really good shooters," said Roberts. 

Roberts says out of the seven teams he played for, the Bucks and people of Wisconsin were the most caring, so he loves flying in from his home in Utah to get involved.
