This hurts my soul. Dude has been battling back from injuries for years now and puts up one of his best playoff performances ever while hurt.
No Buck is ever wearing 22 again and he should be immortalized outside fiserv forum in the future.
Giannis has made more threes this season than:
Joe Ingles
Jaylen Brown
Tobias Harris
Jamal Murray
Seth Curry
Kawhi Leonard
Malcolm Brogdon
Kyle Korver
Joel Embiid
Jimmy Butler
ESPN Sources: The Milwaukee Bucks are preparing to be without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo for the start of their opening round series against the Indiana Pacers, but are hopeful treatment on his left calf strain will allow him to return sometime later in the series.
Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has suffered a strained Achilles, is in a walking boot and there is serious doubt over his availability for Game 4 vs. Pacers on Sunday, sources tell

A random guy at the gym was talking about how J. Kidd was actually a good coach and I explained why that’s wrong. He responded with “I bet you’ve never even played basketball” and I said let’s play AND I BEAT HIM 21-7 I HAVE PEAKED IN LIFE
Ladies if he:
- Changed your life for the better
- Took something previously broken and made it flourish
- Implemented a more free flowing offense
- Encouraged more three point attempts
he’s not your man, he’s Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer
Stan Van Gundy has gone from “Zubac is the best Giannis defender” to “it’s actually a good thing thing that Zubac is fouling out so Giannis sees a different look” over the course of this game
JR: “Ayo George Hill when did Bron get taller and shave his beard?”
Hill: “Man you haven’t played with Bron in over a year. That’s Giannis and you’re in Milwaukee”
JR:
“It’s over, the Bucks have done it. The long wait has ended. After a half century, the Milwaukee Bucks are NBA Champions once again”
Chills, every single time
Giannis and Brook this season:
Giannis:
- Leads NBA in opponent FG% (41.3%)
- Leads NBA in def. RPG (9.9)
- Leads NBA in rim def. FG% vs expected
Brook:
- Tied for most blocks in the NBA (139)
- Leads NBA in contested shots with 978. The next closest is Zubac with 691 🤯
Back in 2021, Giannis said to Michael Redd “One day I’m going to break your record”
Tonight, he did it.
Highest scoring game in Milwaukee Bucks history belongs to Giannis Antetokounmpo
Five years ago the Bucks were the worst team in the league and faced relocation rumors
Now, they’ve clinched the best record in the NBA with arguably the best player in the world and a beautiful new arena. That’s pretty freaking cool
The 1st overall seed in the NBA has had either the MVP, DPOY, or COTY for TWENTY (20!) STRAIGHT SEASONS
Would be one heck of a streak coming to an end if Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez, or Mike Budenholzer doesn’t win any of those awards.
Sometimes I feel down but then I remember Giannis shot better from three than Anthony Davis, Pascal Siakam, and Jimmy Butler last season and I feel better
