What Giannis Antetokounmpo Did On This Possession Can Barely Be Put Into Words

Every game Giannis Antetokounmpo plays for the Milwaukee Bucks is a chance to marvel at a young star in the making.

He regularly gives us a chance to appreciate at his ability to dunk a basketball, but he showed all of his skills on this incredible play against the Rockets on Wednesday night in Houston.

Antetokounmpo spins away from Patrick Beverley and throws a lead pass to Malcolm Brogdon before hustling to catch up to the Bucks in transition. Brogdon sets the Bucks up in the half court and finds the streaking Greek Freak at the three-point line with a head of steam. He drives the lane, spins off a double team, stops to gather himself and dunks over Corey Brewer.

Brewer walked away from the play like he was disappointed in his life on a fundamental level.


Antetokounmpo’s dual spinning dunk was only one example of the Greek Freak putting the Rockets in the blender.

If you’ve been reading the site for a while you’ve got a good feel for Giannis’ game by now. He’s freakishly long, hustles on both ends of the floor, has impressive range and outstanding athleticism. Giannis scores a good amount of his points in transition, and plays like this are exactly why fans in Milwaukee are loving the Greek Freak.
