On Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks won a hard-fought game six to defeat the Phoenix Suns 105-98 and claim their second NBA title in franchise history, and first in 50 years (1971). The Bucks fell behind 2-0 in the series, which had many people anticipating another “Suns in 4” scenario. The Bucks had other plans, however. Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo put his team across his broad shoulders and carried them through the Finals, as he has done the past few years. Game six was a true testament to his immense talent and ability to completely take over a game/series, scoring 50 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks in the game, “The Greek Freak” did something in the NBA Finals that we’ve never seen. For the series, Antetokounmpo average 35.2 points per game, 13.2 rebounds per game, five assists per game, 1.2 steals per game, 1.8 blocks per game all while shooting 61.8% from the field. He becomes the first player ever to average 30/10/5 on 60% shooting in a Finals series, earning Finals MVP. Truly remarkable.
