I'm so happy for Giannis. He didn't run from the grind. Didn't stack the deck and go elsewhere to create a super team.

Not by me. That was one of the greatest individual performances in a professional basketball game. Not just NBA, but in ALL pro basketball leagues around the world.

Giannis was adamant on winning in the same city that drafted him WITHOUT leaving, and he did. Giannis knew that if he wanted to cement his legacy, he needed to shine, and he did.
Giannis is the "but better" version of Shaq. Even O'neal admitts Giannis is better than he was at basketball. Imagine if Shaq had stayed under 300 lbs, been in good shape, shot a mid range jumper, and made his free throws. Oh wait! You don't have to! It's Giannis!!!!!

Dude fell off a cliff in terms of production, never got any better, and suffered injury after injury in his later years. Kobe meanwhile had a couple more titles in LA. Wade carried Shaq in 06.

Its so refreshing to have a guy who isn't selfish or self centered representing the league....a guy who shares credit when they win and takes responsibility when they lose
As a fan of the opponent (Miami Heat) I have to tip my cap to this man. He has the heart of a warrior. A true real man who worked hard and came through. This is what sports is supposed to be about
For those who are too young to have seen Shaq, that move he pulls at 4:10 is literally vintage Shaq. Hover around the paint as the ball swings around the perimeter, lull the defender to sleep, slip in front of him and bully the guy 3 feet from the basket, get the ball and spin to dunk. Absolutely perfect execution.
Make space jam 3 with Giannis.. His story from rags to riches with humble heart could make a great impact for the kids of next generation.. truly deserving
Glad I’m not the only one thinking Bron never should’ve been in space jam. Back then I thought it should’ve been Curry just because he won multiple championships, changed the game and he has the babyface. But yes I agree Giannis for Space Jam 3
Knowing the shit organization the NBA is, they don’t want a foreign guy as the face of their league. But who cares what they think? Giannis or Luka are undoubtedly the next faces of the league.
Giannis with a 50-point double double this game, also I appreciate his loyalty, in his 8th season with the Bucks, he has done a lot including a championship, Finals MVP, 2 MVP's, AS MVP, MIP and also a DPOY Award, what a career it has been for the Greek Freak
Giannis is better than LeMickey -didnt need a superteam - won his 1st finals appearance - didn’t quit on his team after being down 2-0 - does not flop - does not complain - didn’t left to win an easy ring
When he signed the supermax to stay in Milwaukee, they said it was a mistake. They said he isn't skilled, just dunks. This has shown me that you shouldn't give a fvck what anyone says. Congrats to Giannis. His dad would be proud
he still isnt skilled. hes borderline 7ft tall and can dunk a ball. big deal. he still can't shoot to save his life. his literal only move is to drive to the hole with his 250 pounds and see if someone stops him. He's shaquille oneal, just born 20 years too late.
What amazes me is that he shot like 90% from the ft line when in the past games he wasn't doing anything near that number. He played almost a perfect game that day on the offensive and defensive side. What a game for him
In the biggest game of his career, Giannis plays one of the greatest games ever played in NBA history. I’m still trying to wrap my head around what I just watched, just an amazing way to cap off a legendary Finals series.
Yesterday I walked out the jewelry store after buying my wife an engagement ring👩❤️👨💍 after seeing Giannis win a ring, it inspired me to propose. When all of a sudden, a homeless man came out from the shadows and attacked me. Once I saw the his ringless fingers and doodoo stained State Farm underwear, I knew it was...Chris Paul!😳😳 I said chris, why are you attacking me? What did I do?😔 He said he wanted get a real ring, but could never do it in the nba. Without hesitation, I showed him some Curry highlights and he ran away in fear and frustration Luckily I got away but I’ll never forget this traumatic experience😪 everyone PLEASE watch out for ringless bums on the street

Damn, Imagine a 50 piece in the finals from the player who they said "can't shoot". Mans already a better player than anyone else in the NBA right now.🔥🔥🔥
Jazz fan here. So damn happy for Giannis and Milwaukee. Such a breath of fresh air to see a team built the old school way and win a championship. Congrats!
Giannis is arguably the only player in the league who won his wing "the old way". Stayed in the team, improved his body and skillset every year, faced heartbreaking defeats only to come back stronger, collecter MVPs and finally got his Ring. This is a incredibly deserved win for the Greek god
He always was a playoff player, look back to the Toronto and Miami series. Yeah he dipped in production, but his TEAMMATES (Khris and especially Bledsoe) were both bad. TL;DR : Giannis couldn’t pass it out because his teammates couldn’t make a shot.
Im from MKE seen him since day 1 at was like watching ur kid grow up love this dude he saved our franchise woth one hell of a showing 50/14/5 blocks dude went GOD MODE
This is a career defining performance in my eyes. Puts him up there with some of the greats. DOMINATING this three point heavy era barely even taking jumpshots. We will look back on how incredible this game and season was from Giannis
AND HE STARTED PLAYING BASKETBALL AT 14!!!!!!People don't understand that he has far less shots made in his life than KD and all the other great shooters that they started basketball at 5.In 1-2 years the shots will drop freequently especially if he comes back to the shooting form he had in his rookie year which was ok and i don't know why they destroyed it for him.His rookie shooting style actually is very similar to the style of KD!!!!!!!!
What this man Giannis has done in the last 3 years of his career ALREADY makes him a first-ballot HOFer. Congrats to the humble superstar for one of the GREATEST Finals performances in a series of all time! 🔥🙏🏾
Proud for Gianis because I’m Greek , but for this champion the whole team played it’s part end the loud city of Milwaukee definitely deserve it. Big love from Greece

The struggles and tribulations of growing up side by side with professionals you can call brothers in a city you can call home and with fans you can call family... hard to find nowadays. The better story is always the underdog story is it not?
Giannis dedication and focus makes him unstappable on both offense and defense. Making no excuses coming from a injury. He's making history in the NBA, ties the all-time highest scoring game in a finals closeout game. Winning 2 MVP's in a row, DPOY, Championship, and Finals MVP in 26 years of age. Man, respect!
Yeah hes amazing...hes up there with Jordan and Hakeem..I guess when you're a great two way player like those guys you dont have to leave your city and make a Superteam to win
@@karlbeast4335 All true...and he would have gotten a bunch of ridiculous and crazy calls in his favor this finals and still found a way to botch almost every fourth quarter...but yeah Giannis is better than a lot of guys in the NBA for how his character shines in everything he does
As a child of two migrants growing up on the streets of Athens, fighting for every meal. Didnt even have a citizenship till his draft. Worked his butt of for every inch of his succes and now he has one of the greates Finals performances of all time. Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Year 2022, and I'm here after watching Rise, seeing how far Giannis has reached, it makes me appreciate him even more especially with everything he has been through. One of the best journeys in the NBA. He deserves all the things he has now. God and family comes first, and the rest follows. Like what Giannis said, you just have to do your part, and that's exactly what he did. So proud and this is very inspirational. #RISE 🇬🇷
I've been a Bucks Fan since '87 that year we lost in 7 to Bird and the Celtics! I'm prouder of this group of guys then even my beloved Packers! We're Freaking champions for the first time in my old ass life!

@@spendsshanks6050 he is an all around player if he develops his three pointers and midranges, once he gets those he will literally be unstoppable eveb better than MJ
@d lee im late but hes still only 26 lol, and hes def at least top 20 all time, and hes already developing a jumper. No doubt in my mind as long as he stays injury free, he could become the GOAT. If he gets 5 or more champions in his career, he will be the goat, at the level hes playing, while hes constantly growing.
So why is Giannis better than Jordan all time?‼️ -too strong to have a gambling addiction -too responsible to take care of his hair instead of taking the bald easy way out. -didn’t need another hof and the greatest coach of all time to save him from the first round -isn’t a glorified Khris Middleton -didn’t need to take multi year retirement breaks -doesn’t complain or square up with the refs after every play -won his ring against real ballers. Not plumbers, skid row residents, and part time gas station workers -won his ring at 26. Years before Jordan ever did. -humble af. Doesn’t try to be superior to everyone -doesn’t take every single little thing personally like a brat -came up from the slums of Greece. Wasn’t carried by a middle class family like Jordan.
underrated performance. a 50pt 5blk double-double on a closeout game on his first ever finals after coming out from a overextended back and a championship on a jumpshot dominant era and i am a curry fan, love giannis

I still can’t believe it’s real. Been a bucks fan all my life . Giannis life story is so inspiring. His hard work finally paid off . Every time I watch this i damn near cry. Means so much.
For real he choked in the 2016 WCF and instead of redeeming himself the following season he instead joined the team that beat him. What's more disgusting is that people defend that move of his 😭
@@amarirasheed6 It surely affected the fairness of the game dumbass.

Had to revisit this classic. I remember him getting initial chase down block and knew he was going for a historic game. Not sure on a W, but he immediately set the tone. Sending a message can’t be overlooked. His jumper this year has looked significantly better! Slow grind 🏁
Giannis Antetokounmpo and his Legitimate, glorified NBA Championship legacy Poem!! Giannis Antetokounmpo can drive to the basket at will and put the defense on the grill!! He’ll find unselfish ways to pass the ball and contribute!! Little did the defenders know that Giannis was putting the defensive awareness on mute!!! The high IQ mentality of Giannis Antetokounmpo can make plays to get the crowd elated and get his defenders deflated!!! The Greek Freak can penetrate the floor, and would be looking to score, until the defensive setup loses its core!!! Giannis simply works out the most when he drives coast to coast, shutting the defense down from the post!! The Greek Freak’s ability to make layups like jelly, will cause the defense to foul him until they reach the penalty!! Giannis drives like a slasher!! He’s a two way-player!! He’ll punish his defenders at the rim and will swat shots from his opponents on a prayer!! Opposing players know during transition, that they’ve got ticks on the clock, knowing that Giannis will chase them down in pursuit to get their shot blocked!! It’s apparent that Giannis Antetokounmpo’s true potential would show his opposing guards their lack of defense credentials!!! His acrobatic ability to finish will make his defenders diminish!!! The Greek Freak is a man on a mission to dig his opposing teams a hole!! So much for the opposing defensive assignment taking its toll!!! The Greek Freak can run and slash like a spark of flash, rubbing the dust to opposing defenders as if they were trash!! At the end of the day, Giannis Antetokounmpo has gotten his defenders mesmerized!! I could see why the opposing teams would always hit the road dissatisfied!!

Wow , I actually cried re watching these highlights. The only 2 times I remember crying in the last 15 years , watching live and re watching these highlights. So incredibly special
Giannis to me had the greatest finals of all time...tell me another player that has had all the icon plays Giannis had in this series...Game 1 chase down block after hyperextending his knee...back to back 40py games in Games 2 and 3...The block heard around the world in Game 4...The Alley oop dunk to seal it in Game 5 and the block party and 50piece in the championship close out game...not to mention having team mates that can give you 30 one night and disappear the next...Tell me who did it better?
He showed he is able to carry a team on his back to the championship! No super teams! Just humbleness, hard working and trust in the organization that raised him!
4:13 That dunk over 3 guys sealed the deal for me. Suns had to know they were beaten at that point. Giannis refused to be denied this game and the title.
The greek freak deserves so much the title and mvp finals. He did everything with all his heart and energy. You did it. Enjoy it bucks. The greek freak is the beast and the best superstar in the NBA
Giannis is unstoppable! Even more unstoppable last night! He is a beast… junp shots,pull up,threes,he can be the most dominant player ever just time will tell.. so happy for him and Milleauke as a whole❤️🔥❤️
It’s obvious to see that while he does use brute strength, he also uses technique to bypass his defenders. Some of these moves have going ooo and ahh, even though they’re not flashy, but they just allow him to get in an advantageous position so easily. DAMN!
I’m telling you rn, the 1990’s had Jordan, the 2000’s had Kobe, the 2010’s had LeBron james there was the MVP in 2020, but I think this championship has officially started the era of Giannis Antetokounmpo, he’s already solidified himself as a basketball legend at only 26 years old, here’s to many more championships🥂💯 - Raptors fan
@@RRRRRRRRR33 personally i would go kobe as the best player of the 00's. i like timmy and think he is underrated but at the same time i have like 10 players ahead of him all-time... wilt, jordan, lebron, kareem, kobe, hakeem, magic, shaq, bird, russell. he is a better defender sure but not by that much, kobe however was a very dynamic offensive player. kobe could be your playmaker, your secondary scorer, the first scoring option, the tough bucket getter, and the clutch time performer. kobe was inefficient, so was havlicek (my favorite player) but you know what they got the job done and were feared throughout the league. The reason they were feared was the 2-way impact while also having the ability to make the most difficult buckets under the most intense scenarios...
@@heatnix3223 Kobe had too many flaws, both inside and outside the court that derailed his career. Too much ego, if it was not for that, maybe he could go for 7 championships. Defective playmaker, he forced the pass just like he forced his own shots, basically a early version of what WestBrook turned out to be some seasons later, Kobe in 2012 had the highest usage percentage in NBA history, always forcing the issue and playing heavy minutes for no reason. His shot selection was dubious to say the least, usually going against multiple defenders instead of creating a high quality shot like Jordan used to make, because of that Kobe had the worst ever performance in a finals game 7. And I am a Lakers fan by the way, I know the good and negative sides of Kobe very well, at first I considered him the best, but after maturing as a fan and seeing how Duncan showed class and professionalism his whole career, defeated the best defense in modern basketball in a 7 games series (almost had a quadruple double against the prime Pistons coached by Larry Brown, that's highly impressive), then much later his team inflicted the worst beatdown in finals history against the "reunion" of LeBron, every Spurs victory was a blowout. And as talent goes he was just as dominant as Kobe playing in the golden age of PFs... for me Duncan is the best player ever since Jordan, no question about it, his career was basically perfect

Can’t blame you for wanting to say that but I’d still go with KD and Kawhi over him. LeBron looked suspect in the playoffs. Unfortunately LeBron Durant and Kawhi’s teams all faced major injuries but that’s not to discredit the Bucks.
@@karma_8848 tbf lebron was injured for most of the regular season and his play in the playoffs was underwhelming at least by his standards due to said injuries. It’s tough to ever count Lebron out so I am still not ready to accept that Giannis is better but who knows, maybe this was Lebrons last decent year by his standards. Hopefully not though.

he still isnt skilled. hes borderline 7ft tall and can dunk a ball. big deal. he still can't shoot to save his life. his literal only move is to drive to the hole with his 250 pounds and see if someone stops him. He's shaquille oneal, just born 20 years too late.

In the biggest game of his career, Giannis plays one of the greatest games ever played in NBA history. I’m still trying to wrap my head around what I just watched, just an amazing way to cap off a legendary Finals series.

Yesterday I walked out the jewelry store after buying my wife an engagement ring👩❤️👨💍 after seeing Giannis win a ring, it inspired me to propose. When all of a sudden, a homeless man came out from the shadows and attacked me. Once I saw the his ringless fingers and doodoo stained State Farm underwear, I knew it was...Chris Paul!😳😳 I said chris, why are you attacking me? What did I do?😔 He said he wanted get a real ring, but could never do it in the nba. Without hesitation, I showed him some Curry highlights and he ran away in fear and frustration
Luckily I got away but I’ll never forget this traumatic experience😪 everyone PLEASE watch out for ringless bums on the street

The Greek Freak’s ability to make layups like jelly, will cause the defense to foul him until they reach the penalty!! Giannis drives like a slasher!! He’s a two way-player!! He’ll punish his defenders at the rim and will swat shots from his opponents on a prayer!! Opposing players know during transition, that they’ve got ticks on the clock, knowing that Giannis will chase them down in pursuit to get their shot blocked!! It’s apparent that Giannis Antetokounmpo’s true potential would show his opposing guards their lack of defense credentials!!! His acrobatic ability to finish will make his defenders diminish!!! The Greek Freak is a man on a mission to dig his opposing teams a hole!! So much for the opposing defensive assignment taking its toll!!! The Greek Freak can run and slash like a spark of flash, rubbing the dust to opposing defenders as if they were trash!! At the end of the day, Giannis Antetokounmpo has gotten his defenders mesmerized!! I could see why the opposing teams would always hit the road dissatisfied!!

The reason they were feared was the 2-way impact while also having the ability to make the most difficult buckets under the most intense scenarios...
@@heatnix3223 Kobe had too many flaws, both inside and outside the court that derailed his career. Too much ego, if it was not for that, maybe he could go for 7 championships. Defective playmaker, he forced the pass just like he forced his own shots, basically a early version of what WestBrook turned out to be some seasons later, Kobe in 2012 had the highest usage percentage in NBA history, always forcing the issue and playing heavy minutes for no reason. His shot selection was dubious to say the least, usually going against multiple defenders instead of creating a high quality shot like Jordan used to make, because of that Kobe had the worst ever performance in a finals game 7. And I am a Lakers fan by the way, I know the good and negative sides of Kobe very well, at first I considered him the best, but after maturing as a fan and seeing how Duncan showed class and professionalism his whole career, defeated the best defense in modern basketball in a 7 games series (almost had a quadruple double against the prime Pistons coached by Larry Brown, that's highly impressive), then much later his team inflicted the worst beatdown in finals history against the "reunion" of LeBron, every Spurs victory was a blowout. And as talent goes he was just as dominant as Kobe playing in the golden age of PFs... for me Duncan is the best player ever since Jordan, no question about it, his career was basically perfect
@@RRRRRRRRR33 nah u trippin heavy, the goal is to win championships but context is always needed when ranking the all-time greats. Sure magic has more championships than lebron but never would i take magic over lebron...
An inspirational story for the ages. Bravo Giannis 🙏🏾👍🏾
Certified 🐐 . Best player in the leauge this season , congrats to a 🐐.
Take it easy boy, Bronsexuals might attack you
Imagine suffering a hyperextension and back with a huge performance and now he's the 2021 NBA FINALS MVP 😱🤯🤯
giannis has the biggest heart in the nba
@Tack Draas steph always had a good team
@@InteligentePol steph is the team dumb fuck, and giannis always had middleton, his shooter as well just like steph always had klay tf is ur point? GSW very first chip sll they had was they ddrafted team of steph, klay and dray
The level of dominance and impact this guy has is undescribed! The last 4 years he won "most improved player of the year " "dpo" "2 times back to back mvp regular season " "one finals mvp" a "champion" and numerous other records.....from my point of view he is the only top tier player that could have won each of his 8 years career the "most improved player " award!
So happy for The Man and the bucks
What a performance
A legendary one 👑🔥
Better than LeFraud
When Giannis gets The Finals MVP award, his team mates & him scream/yell in jubilation gives me chills everytime. Giannis & Co. worked so hard, endured alot of crap from the media and other haters. Against all odds, they came out on top, Victorious!!. Congrats 👏 👏
i’ve been saying since 2015 he was next up.. his size and skills were insane it was all about work ethic and dedication and he has it
Giannis is the best player in the planet I don't care what nobody says
It’s certainly is close but I still think KD and LBJ rank slightly higher but I hope he proves me wrong by winning another chip next season.
@@unspeakablyawesomebros3392 this season hes been better then lebron but kd is debatable
Can’t blame you for wanting to say that but I’d still go with KD and Kawhi over him. LeBron looked suspect in the playoffs. Unfortunately LeBron Durant and Kawhi’s teams all faced major injuries but that’s not to discredit the Bucks.
@@karma_8848 tbf lebron was injured for most of the regular season and his play in the playoffs was underwhelming at least by his standards due to said injuries. It’s tough to ever count Lebron out so I am still not ready to accept that Giannis is better but who knows, maybe this was Lebrons last decent year by his standards. Hopefully not though.
@@unspeakablyawesomebros3392 lbj?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This man was an absolute titan on both sides of the ball last night, absolutely fearless.
Giannis shut up A LOT of critics .. and he remained humble and walked it like he talked it 😤
they are not even talking about 14 rebounds, thats saying something .

Coming back to this performance probably one of the most dominat Finals performances ever Gianni’s is so fun to watch He’s the definition of “generational talent”
how many times Mike Breen said “OOOH BLOCK BY ANTETOKOUNMPO" in the Finals?
Giannis is better than LeMickey
-didnt need a superteam
- won his 1st finals appearance
- didn’t quit on his team after being down 2-0
- does not flop
- does not complain
- didn’t left to win an easy ring
It was so unreal
Giannis won a fmvp before Stephanie curry ever will💀
@@karlbeast4335 do u have any other way to spend ur time- I'm a grizz fan and i think mj's the goat, but seriously how sad do u have to be to dedicate hours of your life to some stupid debate that noone agrees with you on, and even if they did, you'd prolly change their minds. And how does it, in the grand scheme of things, matter that people know that karl beast the rando thinks giannis is better than lebron
@@leultrainstinct406 Yeah right, keyboard warriors, pweh 😒
