[Moab]

Don't you have to say his name 3x in mirror or something??

I think the lights need to be off...that stated, I'm guessing he's going to be spending lots of time wiping the Doritos dust off his dork and will need a new jack sock

So happy for Giannis man

Let the Giannis reign begin

 

[tabascojet]

Greek Freak had a championship winning game and series...props to them....and good for him on his perseverance and staying in Mke... if anybody on this team deserves a title it's he and Middleton...

Giannis you just won the NBA title....what are you gonna do now?

I'm going to the clippers!!!

I had them winning it all before the playoff started.

I am not sure how to react.

My overall horrible prediction success has probably climbed up to about 0.001% now.

A Broken clock being right twice a day finally paid off for me.

Giannis is just such a likeable guy.

Happy for him

Yep same here. Outside of Dame and probably Russ, not another player I would like to see win a title more that doesn't play for the Heat.

I love me some Bobby Portis

Great thing for the NBA to have Toronto and Milwaukee win 2 of the last 3 titles.

Lakers are the only big market team to win a title since 2013. Small market teams loving this..

There is a path to the title

Absolutely. They have to draft well, keep faith in their head coach even through the tough years and get the little pieces needed to push them over the edge.

Major factor for the Bucks this year was getting Jrue

That’s an all time Finals series for Giannis. And dude was hurt. Jrue Holiday was such a great add. It took them years of patience but they finally found the right guy to pair with Middleton and Giannis. And good for Middleton for shaking the disappear in the playoffs rep.

Antetokounmpo brothers>ball brothers

What a hard fought series.
Giannis was gives top effort on both ends.
Happy for the Bucks.

 

[Iggloo]

Wow. Much respect to this guy.

Giannas is a man amongst boys. He is a good dude and deserves a ring.

 

[LambeauLegs]

He waits until the most important game of his career to hit 17 of 19 free throws. If he shot his average they may not have won. Who would have expected that?

 

[Scooby-Doo]

The Suns are just far to undisciplined and play one on one street ball as if they have no teammates. Surprised their coach puts up with it. I remember all the criticism of the Bucks coach after the first two games saying he was overmatched by the black coach on Phoenix. Now its the Phoenix coach who looks helpless out there.

"The black coach"

You just can't get out of your own way. Bravo

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that. Not just Giannis' all time Finals close out performance, I'm talking about the Bucks winning the title in general. I can't recall ever seeing a team swing pole to pole so much during the playoffs and win. They looked like champions against the Heat. They were utter dogshit against the Nets, including Giannis for spells. Just awful displays of bad basketball, poor coaching etc. They looked ok, but not great against the Hawks. And then peaked in Finals but only after losing the first 2 games. Maybe some in the 1st round, but they never really "looked" like a champion until these last 4 games. Even Giannis, had periods in these playoffs were he foolishly kept trying to play against his strengths. Settling for bad shots, forcing things. Not stepping up on defense (remember when he wouldn't guard Durant?). And then he finds himself, locks in, and becomes unstoppable. It's such a weird run. At times it was ugly, they barely survived, but founds was to grind along and it all came together perfectly.

Yep. No doubt.
Totally agree with you guys.
He not only deserves winning the title and the MVP for being an amazingly talented player for sure...but also because the dude is an awesome, humble, and just an all around grounded genuinely nice human being.
