Giannis was captain of his team…the game and the sport of basketball
Look, Team LeBron won this game, but the NBA world was introduced to Giannis Antetokounmpo. This dude is the real deal. He played so well that his name was mentioned enough so that Shaquille O’Neal actually could learn how to pronounce it.
Giannis led everyone in the building scoring 38 points in one of the more dominating performances in recent memory. The play everyone will remember from this night is this one.

Before you press play for this highlight, take a look where Giannis’ had is at. Folks, his hand is at the top of the square. This play was so ridiculous that people will remember Steph Curry for this play and not the awful shooting.
Giannis put on a dunking clinic in this game besides the other dunk you see above, even LeBron had a close up look at one of the crowd favorites.
What was interesting to me is it looked like Giannis was upset that his team lost. You hear all of the time when Giannis gets his jumper together, he will be lethal. Let me tell you something.
He already is. His competitive drive makes the Milwaukee Bucks dangerous in the Eastern Conference. The NBA had better watch out for this dude. The only thing that is more dangerous than his talent is his hunger to win.
