Dunking on teammates

Giannis trying hard in the All-Star Game has been discussed so much in the past year that it borders upon becoming a cliche now, but on Sunday in Staples Center, he produced another great example of his focus.

Just how much does Antetokounmpo care about playing in the All-Star Game?

Well, it’s at least enough to put teammates on a poster without a second thought.

While the Greek Freak grabbed plenty of attention with multiple putback dunks last year, there weren’t quite as many opportunities to follow it up this time around. As such, when Giannis finally spotted an opening, he grabbed it with both hands.

When James Harden missed a layup, rather than having a chance to grab the rebound for himself, Antetokounmpo gave him a taste of the Tim Hardaway Jr. experience, coming in from above to slam it home over his teammate.
