Giannis Antetokounmpo put the city of Milwaukee on his back and delivered the championship they’ve been waiting for, for 50 years! After going down 0-2 to start the series. They rallied back winning four straight to knock off the Phoenix Suns 4-2.
Giannis dropped 50 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks to lead the way in Game 6.
Before the season started ole boy signed a 5-year Superman extension to get the job done. After putting up those crazy numbers he had this to say.
“I just couldn’t leave. “There was a job that had to be finished.
Coming back, I was like, ‘This is my city. They trust me. They believe in me. They believe in us.’ … Obviously I wanted to get the job done. But that’s my stubborn side. It’s easy to go somewhere and go win a championship with somebody else. It’s easy. … I could go to a super team and just do my part and win a championship. But this is the hard way to do it,” he continued, pounding the desk for emphasis, “and this is the way to do it, and we did it. We f—ing did it.”
Yessir, he did it and did it big. He stayed the course and delivered. You can’t do anything but respect that. NBA Championship and Finals MVP has now been added to his two league MVP’s. That’s big time right there. Congrats Milwaukee! You earned it.
