Giannis Antetokounmpo is known for his highlight reel dunks. He is also in the conversation for his third career MVP Award and was the leading vote getter for the All-Star team in the Eastern Conference. On Friday night, Giannis led the Bucks to their third-straight win, a 141-131 victory over the Indiana Pacers. In that game, he provided fans with a plethora of highlight reel plays.
Giannis Throws Down a Monster Dunk
Perhaps his best play, though, came with about 8:35 left in the fourth quarter. After Bucks shooting guard Grayson Hill came away with a steal, he passed it backwards to Giannis on the other end, who took off from just inside the free throw line to power home a monster one-handed dunk:
The Greek Freak finished the night with 41 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists. He is currently averaging 31.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game.
The performance against Indiana was his second consecutive huge game against them. While the Bucks defeated the Pacers 132-119 back on January 16 this year, Giannis missed that game with knee soreness. The two-time MVP had last played against Indiana on February 15, 2022. In that contest, he scored 50 points while grabbing 14 rebounds and dishing out four assists.
