It took 50 years, but the Milwaukee Bucks are champions once again. And it wouldn’t have been possible without a legendary performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Bucks defeated the Phoenix Suns, 105-98, in Tuesday’s Game 6 of the NBA Finals to win their first title since 1971. And when the final horn sounded, all eyes were on Antetokounmpo.
Giannis, who took the most unlikely of paths to become a two-time NBA MVP, was overcome with emotion as he went into the stands to find his family. Once the reality set in that he was finally an NBA champion, Giannis took in the moment in the absolute perfect way.
He found a seat and just reflected on the accomplishment.
