INTERESTING FACTS

Giannis Antetokounmpo was responsible for 2 of the top 3 plays from the 2020-21 season
Giannis missed the final 2 GP of the ECF, then won Finals MVP with 35.2 PPG, 13.2 RPG, 5.0 APG, 1.8 BPG on 61.8% FG
Phoenix Suns took a 2-0 WCF lead over the Clippers after a GW-FG on an inbounds alley-oop to Deandre Ayton

MAIN TAKEAWAY

GIANNIS MADE 2 OF THE GREATEST PLAYS IN NBA FINALS HISTORY

COLORS KEY | FULL BUCKS OUTLOOK

It was easy to get lost in the moment and just be in awe of Giannis Antetokounmpo when he recovered from guarding Devin Booker in the pick-and-roll to immediately denying Deandre Ayton of a simple alley-oop dunk. Or just be impressed by Jrue Holiday forcing an extremely clutch steal away from Booker and finding Giannis for an earth-shattering alley-oop of their own in NBA Finals Game 5. Now that it’s all in the books, fans can appreciate and recognize those two plays as all-time NBA Finals moments.

The Greek Freak signed a super-max extension before the season instead of testing the waters of free agency and joining a bigger market/better team after years of coming up short. Instead, Antetokounmpo did what he’s done his whole life: grind it out to get to the top. He had another MVP-caliber regular-season, but the reigning 2x MVP saved his best for last, even after suffering what looked to be a serious leg injury during the ECF. His Finals performance was legendary with two all-time plays cemented forever.
