The Greek Freak is back to doing freaky things. Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks were taking it to the Boston Celtics early on Friday night. The Greek Freak racked up eight points in the first five minutes of the game, helping give the Bucks an early lead. He also showed he’s lost none of his signature explosiveness with an impressive soaring dunk in the first quarter.

Check out this highlight.

Giannis’ dunk here gave the Bucks a 17-2 lead to open the game. The Celtics charged back hard, though, and pulled to within two points with a few minutes remaining in the first quarter. This game should be a ton of fun to watch to its conclusion.
