The Milwaukee Bucks wouldn’t be in the position they’re in right now without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak has done all he could to carry the team this season, and it has paid off, culminating in an NBA Cup trophy.
Giannis Antetokounmpo deservedly won MVP after guiding Milwaukee to another trophy, which should strengthen his league MVP case this season. He hasn’t won one since the 2020-21 campaign, and Antetokounmpo wants another one.
Don’t be surprised if the Greek Freak wins it because of his consistent production. As pointed out on social media, the eight-time NBA All-Star has been outrageously efficient in shooting the ball because he has yet to have a game shooting below 50 percent from the field this campaign.
Overall, Giannis Antetokounmpo averages 32.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 61.4 percent from the field in the first 23 regular season matches. However, there’s room for improvement in his free-throw (61.5 percent) and three-point (17.6 percent) percentages.
Milwaukee Bucks win the second NBA Cup with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard leading the way
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-81 on Tuesday night to bring home the Cup from Las Vegas. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard came to play, and their hot three-point shooting and stifling defense helped them secure the double-digit victory.
Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded 26 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists, three blocks, and two steals on 10-for-19 shooting from the field across 37 minutes, and Damian Lillard added 23 points, four rebounds, four assists, and five three-pointers across 35 minutes. Brook Lopez and Gary Trent Jr. also had 13 points apiece.
The Milwaukee Bucks have won 13 of their last 16 games, but according to Giannis Antetokounmpo, their job is far from done since they’re also gunning for the Larry O’Brien trophy.
