Moncrief was later drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks, where he excelled as a player, earning accolades such as being named the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year twice.

Beyond his basketball career, Moncrief has made substantial contributions to his community through various initiatives, including operating a basketball academy for youth and coaching at different levels. He has also been involved in professional development through the Moncrief Career Professional Development Center. His legacy includes being inducted into multiple sports halls of fame and being recognized as a beloved figure in Arkansas. The resolution calls for the House of Representatives to formally acknowledge Moncrief's impact and contributions upon its adoption.
