The Milwaukee Bucks have broken through for their first NBA championship in 50 years, and there’s only one man that is dominating chatter on social media after scoring 50 points– Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The basketball player made the most of his maiden NBA Finals appearance as the Greek forward was the unanimous winner of the championship series’ most valuable player (MVP) award after leading the Milwaukee Bucks to their first title in 50 years.
After losing the first two games of the NBA’s best-of-seven championship series, Antetokounmpo put the Bucks on his back and led the way in four consecutive wins to secure his status as one of the game’s greatest players.
“I never thought I’m going to be 26 years old, with my team playing the NBA Finals,” Antetokounmpo told reporters. “I was just happy being a part of this journey.
“But I never thought I would be sitting here with this right here and this right here (the championship and MVP trophies.) We’ve come a long way.”
