Giannis Antetokounmpo Explaining ‘The Block’ Is Absolutely Phenomenal
Giannis Antetokounmpo made one of the best defensive plays of all time. That moment. That play. It is truly incredible. They were playing the pick and Chris Paul is ready to give DeAndre Ayton this alley-oop to tie the basketball game. Giannis recovered in what seems like record time and makes a huge block. If the Milwaukee Bucks go on to win this series, the block goes into the all-time great plays of NBA Finals history. Antetokounmpo gave great detail to the media after the game of how his block happened.

This is what legends do. Giannis didn’t have the best game. And it’s absolutely crazy we talk about ‘bad games’ for Antetokounmpo where he scored 26 points, 14 rebounds, and 8 assists. That’s a hell of a night for most guys. But he made a legendary block, and that’s what legends do at the moment even if they’re not having a good night. In the fourth quarter, Giannis’ defense was tremendous. In game 2 and Game 3 we will have the offensive Giannis explosion and in Game 4, it’s the defense.
