Giannis Antetokounmpo Dunked All Over Poor Kosta Koufos And The Kings

Giannis Antetokounmpo is having one of those seasons that is going to put him in at least an MVP conversation by the end of the year. The Bucks star is destroying everything in his path and any fool silly enough to get in his way will get dunked on. In a Sunday matinee matchup against the Kings, Antetokounmpo added another victim to his list.

Big man Kosta Koufos is one of those rim protectors that isn’t afraid of getting dunked on. He knows it’s going to happen sometimes and will take the risk if it means he can prevent the play. The problem is there isn’t much someone can do to stop Antetokounmpo. Especially when he gets this deep in. Koufos realized that too late and tried to stumble away, but it was too late because Antetkounmpo was already dunking. Koufos tried to be a hero, but instead, he became fodder.


The Bucks demolished the Kings on Sunday, taking a 108-82 lead into the fourth quarter, and Antetokounmpo dunking was a consistent theme in that demolition. Antetokounmpo was all over the place and the Kings had no answer. All they could do was watch him rise and throw down dunks like this over and over again.

Poor Koufos and poor Kings. They didn’t do anything wrong. They just ran into the Greek demolition machine that is Antetokounmpo. They’re lucky to escape with their lives, but their pride has definitely taken a few hits. Especially Koufos.
