Game of the Season
While it’s a shame there’s such a limited quantity of games to choose from, there is one that still stands out in my mind, six months later.
On December 12, the Bucks faced LeBron James and the Cavaliers in Cleveland. Watching Jabari play, I was sure he had gotten up to play The King, and his relentless attacking in the paint was totally exciting to watch.
Jabari finished with 22 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. I consider it his breakout, coming against an (admittedly weaker at the time) Eastern Conference championship team and the best player in the world. Unfortunately, the Bucks would lose a close game by only three points, but Jabari had arrived.
