Giannis Antetokounmpo hosts a Wisconsin block party
The Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons battled Friday night in a closely contested matchup. Star players on both sides laced up their kicks for more minutes than usual in the preseason finale.
At the end of the game, the scoreboard read 107-103 in favor of the Bucks. Despite a stellar performance from Avery Bradley, Giannis Antetokounmpo stepped up in a big way and led his team to their first victory of the preseason.
The Greek Freak struggled to find his shot, but found other ways to contribute. On top of 17 points, six rebounds and six assists, Antetokounmpo also hosted his own personal block party at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
Following two LeBron-esque chase down blocks, the do it all point forward sent away back to back shots from Pistons center Andre Drummond and finished the game with five swats in total.
Giannis put his name on the map for casual basketball fans last season and even led his team in every major statistical category. While we know the Greek Freak is the NBA’s version of the Swiss Army Knife, it appears that he’s been working to add the one tool he’s been missing.
If he’s able to stretch the floor with a new-found three point shot, the rest of the league should probably give up on guarding him since he’ll have become an unstoppable force regardless of the defender. If not, he’s still a seven-footer with ridiculous handles, unbelievable passing chops, and a one man show on the fast break. Good luck trying to slow him down.
