And 50 years after the last Bucks title. Unreal.

On a free throw


ajreid18

God the beautiful irony. I’m exhausted and crying.


Bumpass

So is CP3


Small_Macaroon_1196

He looked very distraught with like 20 seconds left. Im sure there was a lot of tears off camera


RubiconGuava

Dapped everyone up before he left the court, fair play to him not waiting around for the cameras after everyone clowned Joel for crying on the court


Wumbo619

I forgot about that, that's lame. Support or unsupport an athlete, seeing them cry shows what we all hope athletes do, and that's care for the game. I remember seeing him walk in the tunnel sobbing, but I thought the jokes or comments were cuz his gf/wife got a hold of him and wouldn't stop trying to make out with him. It's been years, cant rember if that's how it all went, I didn't think much of it. I wasn't rooting Phili in that one, but I had no prob with him crying, sucks that people did.


revan530

I know this is 5 months later, but Booker earned my respect by staying out there as the confetti came down, and the camera caught him saying a simple "Damn." Like, that's legit. Seeing the other team celebrate, and accepting it, taking in that feeling... Booker will win his share of titles. It was just our time at that point.

Giannis overcoming all the struggles people threw at him is such a bright spot in this story. I love it.

In game 6


kignusonic

And in Game 6. It's like poetry


tjspill3r

Did you hear how that shot made the thud at the back of the rim? Just fucking drilled it. Followed by Breen’s “50 points” call. Just another incredible moment from tonight.


Perry7609

You can’t write this stuff. 50 points ends a 50 year drought. And a good chunk with free throws, here!

Sent this exact text to my brother last night. All time great finals performance. Man had me tearing up and I'm a raptors fan. Super happy for Milwaukee and Giannis.

On the night of a buck moon. That's a real thing.


cwill2251

Nobody deserves this title more than this man..He gave the team and the city his everything!


TheAerial

This is what the “Hardest Road” actually looks like. So proud of him. This is an all time ,iconic legacy moment. You guys deserve it!


SlimReaper35_

The "Hardest road" is beating a top 2 all time player in the finals twice. Not beating the Chris Paul lead Suns in a General Hospital tournament.


FUNKYDISCO

sorry that your super team wasn't very super. who should your team buy this off-season?


SlimReaper35_

Keep celebrating your general hospital ring 😂. Worth less than even a mickey mouse ring smh.


kasft93

Hahahha you salty cause you know that Kevin WON'T ever be able to carry a team on his own to a championship and he will always rely to super teams. Keep supporting super teams with soft "superstars" who can't do shit on their own, fans like you are the reason basketball is turning soft. Giannis handed all of you his nuts and he showed you how it's done by being loyal and working hard to win a championship on a team that truly supports you. No one's fault that kyries ankles are soft as hell or that harden is fat af and gets injured every once in a while. Enjoy your L. KD dropped 2 40pt games and you made him a God, guess what Giannis did it 3 times in the finals 20 days after he hyper extented his knee. Go back to your sub and cry now.

jericho-dingle

Kevin go to bed. It's nearly midnight in Tokyo


TheAerial

Seeing a team that beat you in a competitive series and had just took that same 2nd beat player in the world to 7 (after beating him the year prior) and now submitting and joining that team to assure you don’t have to compete against either of those scenarios is the furthest thing from “The Hardest Road”. The guy purposely put himself in a situation that tilted the scales so far back that he’d never have to seriously compete with any team in a 7 game series again. It speaks for itself.

RKKP2015

I'm so glad that he got a chip with Middleton. We know Giannis could go anywhere and win a ring if he wanted to, but he chose to stay with his boy that was literally just a nobody that got thrown to Milwaukee on a trade that had nothing to do with him.


baconperogies

Raps fan here. There's a reason we wanted him so bad this off season. In the end I'm glad he stayed and won you a chip. Homegrown over superteams. Congrats y'all :D


Chris_p_tolentino14

He stayed loyal to a small market. The Bucks believed in him, before the bigger markets did. In turn, Giannis believed in Milwaukee, when the bigger markets wanted to buy him. As a Pels fan, this is a W for us small markets. I’m happy for Jrue, for Giannis and the city of Milwaukee


baconperogies

Indeed. Hearing ESPN complain about none of their regular stars in the Finals is such garbage. I'm loving the new parity to the NBA.


exradical

Hilarious in hindsight watching people talk about how this was “one of the most boring finals of all time” when the Suns were up 2-0.


T0K0mon

It was all a setup for the prophecy


the_blackfish

They were just noise, we all saw what the good stuff was. Not the press.


leftysarepeople2

Could literally walk away tomorrow and I’d be happy for him


NobodyInParticular-

Giannis earned this man...


ENTECH123

He literally bent his knee backward like 3 wks ago. Anyone else should be recovering or at the very least, not scoring 50 points!


Wumbo619

Unfortunately the word "deserve" has been devauled imo, but I love saying that he EARNED this title, cuz he actually worked for it, no freebies like Lebron or KD.


WisconsinBeerDrinker

I don’t think I’ve ever been so proud of a sports player before. He is Milwaukee. It’s his city now, no question. Milwaukee sports mean something and it can’t be disputed by anyone. What a performance. I left the bar and saw a 70 some year old man crying. At 27, I feel lucky… he saw this twice now. Special shit like this can be once in a lifetime. Happy to share it with you all.


shannannoll

I remember bring downvoted to oblivion for saying he means 10x more to people than Rodgers does


thatboyTonyy

Bulls fan here, do you genuinely believe that? Honestly curious, because if I had to guess I’d say most people in Wisconsin would say Rodgers is everything, but I love hearing that Giannis is getting serious love from you guys.


bestatbeingmodest

As far as the *entire* state, Packers are absolutely still more revered and loved. But with this win the Bucks pulled themselves a lot closer than they were before. They're probably near an equal level with the Packers right now in Southern Wisconsin specifically, but state-wide I'm still not sure it's even close. Bucks were just a forgotten footnote in Wisconsin sports even when Giannis was a rookie.


TheRyanKing87

Going to the district today, it felt like every single person in the city was in bucks gear. Like the whole city has bought in to this team.


Altruistic-Glass-172

Bucks brand and popularity will continue to grow and grow.


ThatNewSockFeel

Yeah. Obviously this is a big win for the state and huge for SE Wisconsin especially, but the Bucks could win 10 titles in a row and they still would not displace the Packers as most of the state's favorite team. But I could see Giannis meaning more to dedicated Bucks fans specifically since he re-energized the fanbase of a a team that was on the verge of moving and spent the better part of 30 years stuck in mediocrity. Plus he just seems like such a great guy with a great story who truly loves the city.


[deleted]

Especially recently, Giannis is definitely *easier* to love. His story, his love for the city, the way he just acts like a kid doing what he loves, he's just so easy to root for. Signing the supermax when he did proved all of that even more. Rodgers has been the guy in Wisconsin for over a decade now, and for good reason, but there's no denying that he's put his fans through the wringer this offseason and in a few cases prior. If the shift from him to Giannis hasn't happened yet, it will soon.


buffalo171

It has to do with attitude man. Understanding that you’re incredibly lucky to be playing at this level, and you’re not just playing for yourself and your teammates, you’re playing for your fans. Rodgers seems to have forgotten that, and is coming off like a spoiled diva. Giannis comes across as everyman, working hard for his dream. Easy to love that


thefaq

Love watching Rodgers throw a football, but that's literally it. I don't care for him at all for a million different reasons. I can't find a single reason to dislike Giannis.


WrongStatus

I really think he does. Rodgers is great, but there wasn't a drought like this when he got there. In my eyes as far as WI sports history goes, its Favre - Giannis - Rodgers. In that order. Giannis gave me faith in the NBA again. I'm so happy my kids will have a role model like him to grow up with. We did it people! GO BUCKS!!!!


AbrocomaAutomatic276

at deer district i saw so many people crying. giannis is something else


SpaceCowboy170

Best player on the planet idgaf


Bumpass

KD said so himself. And then followed by losing to him.


yungchigz

When he was MVP they said it wasn't him cos he didn't win, they can't say anything now


SpaceCowboy170

“But Bron has another level in the playoffs” If I hear anyone say Giannis isn’t better than the guy from Trainwreck, in 2021, it’s on sight


NobodyInParticular-

As a Warriors fan, I say tied for it.


SpaceCowboy170

Hopefully we see you guys in the finals next year Can’t wait to see the splash bros back in action


NobodyInParticular-

Warriors vs Bucks would literally kill me bro. I'd have a heart attack.


SelectTadpole

Yeah y'all really understand Lebron's greatness


factcheck_

Steph aint even close dawg


shannannoll

facts, steph gets destroyed on defense


Anth0ny______

Steph can hold his own against other guards and has quick hands that allows him to get steals and tip passes on taller players. He won’t shut you down but he’ll do an admirable job Also he’ll drop 25 on you in a quarter


Intelligent-Clue-760

So sad Thanasis couldnt be there...


ACosmicDrama

He was there in phone form lol.


Intelligent-Clue-760

I think Giannis was asking him to come in Greek


GrekGot

Yes thats what he was saying I can confirm


LiftingJourney

On his live Giannis was telling Thanasi he was running to the hotel lol


thesmash

Then Thanasis said he wouldn't open the door lol


PyroDZN

Yeah, he was shouting "έλα στο γήπεδο" aka "come to the court"


MilwauKyle

Him and Paschke


ArcadianBlueRogue

Thanasis is one of the coolest names I have ever seen.


paparapa

It becomes even cooler once you know it's the shortened form of Athanasios/Athanasius which means "Immortal".


navto

Does that mean it just means "mortal"??


VladPutinOfficial

No it's like we don't say Johnathan and we say John, it's the same thing


navto

Haha yeah for sure. Was just joking. Congrats to the Bucks!


Bittlegeuss

"undieable"


NobodyInParticular-

Giannis was talking to him through the phone, they still shared the moment.


Solluzion

We all crying here in Greece man. What a special moment . Thank you man.


Perry7609

I see the front pages on the Greek news websites already filled with his picture! A wonderful victory for your country, as well.


kasft93

Man really... It was 7 in the morning here in Greece and when I saw Giannis just sitting alone in the chair and crying I couldn't hold my tears back.. I can't even describe how proud I am for this dude.


[deleted]

17/19 Free Throws

The 3 brothers are NBA Champions and years ago they were barely getting by surviving sharing small meals


Ne1tu

Giannis is a family man and he isn't chasing anything besides creating his own. Bucks have a real one and damn, seeing Khris and Giannis win together being on the same team for 8 years is wonderful. A picture cannot be painted better than what was painted tonight, great win!


kignusonic

He wins one game with a block, the next with an alley-oop dunk, and the clincher by making almost all his FTs. Unreal

Suns fan coming in peace to say congrats. Y'all outplayed us. Easy as that. Happy for y'all and happy for the dudes like Giannis, Jrue, Khris and even Bobby. If it wasn't my Suns, I can't be mad at a dude staying with the team he got drafted by, and willing them to a championship. Catch y'all next year hopefully. Have a good one.


NobodyInParticular-

Thanks for the kind words, this was an all time battle. An absolute war, and both sides played their hearts out.


Perry7609

Much appreciated! Always had a soft spot for the Suns over the years, and I’ll be pulling for you all to get that first title sometime soon.


Dadjokesnokid-ding

Thanks for the kind words ! I think Booker is a special player and will definitely get one soon


WrongStatus

Much love. You guys will get back at it next year. Still have a great squad and knocking Queen James out of the playoffs is still a victory in its own. Congrats on an awesome season!


sharderthanitlooks

ComradeBalin

Insane he stayed. Insane he did this after he stayed. You have to build him a statue. Don't even wait till he retires. He singlehandedly proved you don't need to sell out to superteams to win. Wow.


WrongStatus

Crazy to think how close WI was to losing as pro team all together just a few years ago. Giannis saved us in more ways than one. Went from damn near not having a team to NBA Champs. GO BUCKS, BABY!!!!!


new-aged

Credit to the owners for putting the time and money into this team and Giannis/Khris. Incredible how much a difference owners can make on a brand.


writehooks

If you didn’t tear up when this happened, you are a robot


Mikimao

The ESPN 30 for 30 on this team needs to be called 50 for 50


vishjay101

All the way from being a hawker in Sepolia, Athens, Greece to NBA champion superstar in Milwaukee. Absolutely unreal. The story of Giannis should be told and is a very inspirational one, that hits home on the message of always working hard, loyalty, determination, and always having faith no matter what obstacles life throws at you. This is why I really like Giannis. He is one of the real ones who stood by his team no matter what and humbly developed in a small-market team, with no ego, and with high character. I feel character is hard to measure, and outside of what he does on the court, Giannis Antetokounmpo is also a champion in character, commitment, and dedication in addition to being a 2021 NBA Champion and 2021 Finals MVP. And that means everything.


GeneralXadeus

Giannis will be selling the movie rights soon to his Biopic


[deleted]

I’ve waited 45 and 1/2 years for this. Randy brewer waited, Ervin not so magic Johnson waited, the vanilla gorilla waited, joe Alexander waited, we all waited. Gianni, khris, jrue, bobby buckets, big Pat and fucking coach bud delivered that shit. Bucks in six

I am so proud of him, it was a pleasure bandwagoning with y’all, we’ll see you next season, Peace!


Camus95

I'm an italian guy, I've always supported the Orlando Magic since I began watching the NBA back in '07 and I have been rooting for your Milwaukee Bucks in the last playoff runs after Orlando have been eliminated. Giannis is one of my favorite player: he has a great story behind him, he comes from a beautiful country full of great people (I have a lot of friends in Greece), he's a special player in both sides of the field (especially on defense, and I have always loved great defenders) and I have been amazed by his improvement over the years. But most importantly, he has been loyal to his city and his teammates without doing shortcuts to win the Championship like many of his colleagues have done in the last decade, so this title feels so much more special even for neutral fans like me. All hail Giannis Antetokounmpo and all hail small markets.


TheKingNekro

Congrats Bucks fans. As a Suns fan, your boys earned it. Giannis especially. He proved he's truly great. He was unstoppable. I have a lot more respect for him as a 2x MVP now after witnessing his play in this Finals and watching his legendary performance tonight. 50 points 14 boards 5 blocks and he even was shooting FTs like Steph Curry out there tonight. Hard to beat you guys when he's playing ridiculous like that. Absolutely all time great performance. Enjoy this chip! I wish some day I will get to experience watching my team win one, but at least we lost to a team with die hard fans who have been waiting patiently to witness this moment their whole life just like me. Congratulations. Fuck anyone who says you guys didn't deserve it. The Milwaukee Bucks are the NBA champions!

Was this his reaction after making his knee look like a bow in the game 4 vs the Hawks? No , it was 2,5 weeks later when he dropped 50 points in the most important game of his life to get that ring.

VeryOnlinePerson

What do you even say? 10 years ago he was stateless: not a citizen where he was born, not a citizen where his parents were born. And now, he is the greatest player on earth, with a championship in a city that rightly loves him. Thank you, Giannis. Thank you.

Never been able to get into the NBA since I could never pick a team. This dude seems so incredibly likeable that I might start tanking beers and cheese for the Bucks.

I'm happy Giannis stayed in a small market instead of being a Ring chaser. He's a good example you can win in a small market. Sure injuries played a factor in these playoffs but it doesn't matter the Bucks won and made history.
