Giannis Breaks The Internet

I say this as the biggest possible compliment it can be: it’s stupid what Giannis Antetokounmpo can do on an NBA floor. This dude double-clutched a dunk in air and still dunked it. He pump faked a dunk, pretended to pass the ball and then just dunked it anyway.

That’s like if a quarterback threw a football and then somehow caught it himself right as it left his hand and then threw a touchdown. That’s like if a pitcher did his windup and then flipped over and did it again and threw a fastball for strike three. That’s like…I’m not sure there’s anything quite like what Giannis did on Friday, actually.

That is just unfair. The worst part is that Rodney McGruder played just about the best possible defense he could’ve played there. It just didn’t matter. Giannis is so damn good.

In addition to that mind-blowing dunk, Giannis had a good all-around game. He finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block. Giannis struggled a bit to score early on, but he made his mark in the fourth quarter when the Heat were threatening to make a comeback.
