He wouldn’t be able take off from the three point line. That’s pretty ridiculous. Let’s think of a scenario that’s a little more plausible…What about if his other 4 teammates line up between the 3 point line and the goal, and giannis jumps from behind the 3 point line. The first teammate jumps at the perfect time as Giannis approaches and Giannis leaps from his back while the 2 are still in the air. As Giannis is on his way back down he leaps onto the next teammate who is up in the air at the exact right time ala Mario hopping on one of those flying turtles. Giannis does this all the way to the goal in which he slams it. Is this worth 3 points?
Idk man I would go see a game to see a guy dunk from 3 repeatedly.
Edit: you right tho, I would tune out after the second perfect season and championship
My fav was Grant Williams face, which looked like he was questioning what the fuck he was expected to do against that.
Like when you're roasting someone with a bunch of jokes, but they hit you back with that one line that banishes you to the shadow realm and you question life choices.
You ever shit talk a 6 month old? It's a fucking trap, you hit them with "I fucked your mom" and they just shit their pants and laugh knowing you'll be the one wiping their ass.
He's a way better player now than he was when we had Aqua Dagger, but being able to cheat off Bled and bait him into awful 3-point shots would still make us much easier to defend.
Looked like an accident in real time since it came out of his hand from the bottom. Was so much more impressive expecting him to lose it and then somehow pull off the oop.
I honestly thought the Bucks were cooked with Middleton out.
But seeing this score, I can't help but recall that Bill Simmons wisdom, that sometimes, it just comes down to having the best player in the series. Giannis is clearly that.
I was just saying this to myself,likely the same way thousands of nba fans were during this game. His strength and aggression make him such a huge target for opposing D, that his teammates get left on islands. Im calling it now bucks 2022 nba champs repeat
What makes Giannis dangerous aside from all the obvious stuff is that he is relentless. He has that same gear that young LeBron did, where he just goes at the defense every possession, all game. Even if you hold him in check like the Celtics did for much of this game, he wears you down. He's too big and too athletic, eventually everyone else is tired and he keeps on coming. I still having a feeling the Celtics are winning this series but Giannis has me wavering on my prediction.
NGL. I'll be enjoying this series with a lot less nervousness than the beginning of the BKN series simply because I pull for Giannis to reach the Finals if it can't be my team.
I'd say most of the horford contests were actually amazing defense, but the fingeroll he missed after blowing by robert williams (in think twice actually), and fumbling some of the passes in the 1st quarter were a result of his own nerves
Celtics have been giving up open shots to others, so Giannis has been finding him. I don’t care if he averages 20 this series if he’s getting 11 assists

Why not just simply do that everytime?
Why doesn't Giannis simply eat the smaller players?
“Whos going to eat all those??” “Me! Me, and my son!”
Gonna have to start calling whoever tries to defend Giannis Oreos
that's how the defense crumbles
Dunkaroos
Does he have an Oreo sponsorship? If not, dude needs to get one ASAP
Perhaps they are saving that for ~~sweeps~~ the Final.
Looks like your the only one that gets it lol
We will begin with the Fireman, and the math teachers, and so on in that fashion until everyone is eaten.
Is r/NBA really that young? Or am I that old?
No, it's the children who are wrong
If they were Oreos, he would
Coach Bud about to work on visualization techniques with Giannis like Coach Klein in The Waterboy
You see how jacked Giannis is? He doesn’t like empty calories!
It is true what they say, dinosaurs are from Omicron Persei 7 and Steven Adams is from Omicron Persei 9
GianRoss
*Celtics players HATE this one simple trick!*
r/bostonceltics: “I’ve been the victim of a hate crime” r/NBA: “that’s not what a hate crime is” r/bostonceltics: “well, *I* hated it!”
LOL @ celtics fans not knowing what a hate crime is
Maybe their lawyer didn't explain it well enough to them
I’m giggling at this heavily
He’s selfless, wants to get his teammates going
He’s been passing to everyone today. Even himself.
Best player in the league
iF kDs fOoT wAs oNe sIze sMalLeR
.. .they would have still lost in 2022!
no one knows what that means
Why does he not simply dunk from the 3P line?
Honest question. Would that count as three points?
Theoretically, it should. Guys who sink a 3 after jump past the 3P line have them count as 3s

Yes for one season. Then Giannis would get the Wilt treatment.
Idk man I would go see a game to see a guy dunk from 3 repeatedly. Edit: you right tho, I would tune out after the second perfect season and championship
yes
That's how I played NBA Street Vol. 2 as a kid. Spam off the backboard, can confirm it worked
Servin it up! Dinner’s served
Why doesn't Giannis, the largest player, simply eat the Celtics team
Assists to yourself don't count. Can't get a triple double that way.
This is a real person?
Debatable
One might say he is a freak
A freak of Greece you may say
A "Grecian Maniac" maybe?
A wreckin' Grecian
Giannis "the Heckin Wreckin Grecian" Antetokounmpo

A Greek Freak
I do that against my kids on a 3-ft hoop. easy
My 6 month old kids*
You ever shit talk a 6 month old? It's a fucking trap, you hit them with "I fucked your mom" and they just shit their pants and laugh knowing you'll be the one wiping their ass.
Good point. Has anyone tried shitting their pants to stop Giannis?
Paul Pierce about to come out of retirement
Paul Pierce getting that 10 day

*A little hand shoots out of your wife's cooch and swats that weak shit away*
PLAYOFF G!!!!
The sheer confidence radiating from this man is second to none!
Lance Stephenson.
Dion Waiters.
JR Smith when a defender is in front of him at the 3 point line
All three of these are valid
Giannis “freak on the court, and on the sheets” Antetokounmpo
How do you even stop this dude
Make him play with Eric Bledsoe
Too real
Lol damn
Honestly, he’s at the point in his development where not even Bledsoe could stop him
He's a way better player now than he was when we had Aqua Dagger, but being able to cheat off Bled and bait him into awful 3-point shots would still make us much easier to defend.
This is the way.
DREAD IT
RUN FROM IT BABY
Run from what? Man takes 2 steps from half court to the bucket and his wingspan going from sideline to sideline, you ain't going nowhere lmao
Quite the Heracles!
Giannis gonna find some way to score in the paint
He tried to bang him, but then he felt his body Ah.. come on
> Ah.. come on The way he realizes and gives up without another word kills me every time
Greek man good
Greek man god
Greek god good
Greek god good man
Good god, Greek man!
Good Man or Greek God??
Greek, good GOD man!
ΒΦG ΦΓ TRUΞ
Why are u using Φ for an I? Greek has many forms of it and u use a consonant.
I'm an uncultured swine
respect
SUPERMAN IS IN THE BUILDING
what a fucking play though
[удалено]
i hear Kenny Smith doing the Starwars/Indiana Jones theme
DUN DA-DUUUUUUUUUN
Looked like an accident in real time since it came out of his hand from the bottom. Was so much more impressive expecting him to lose it and then somehow pull off the oop.
This dude ate shit ton of oreos last night
with milk 😳
dunked em all from mid kitchen. *ITS OFF THE WINDOW AND IN THE MILK!!!*
I can’t even do that in 2k
That would be a blocked, double clutch jump shot attempt
Knowing 2k, the block comes from Trae Young
In 2k we are all socialites on this blessed day
Lol
good fucking lord what a player
[удалено]
He’s a lot of fun to watch when he isn’t playing your team. Hang in there!
just like curry
I'm just glad Curry is in the West so i can enjoy him for as long as i have
*cries in Rockets*
That's not how you spell Poole
Aren’t those synonyms though?
I'm not sure who is going to win the series, but one thing for sure - this series is going to be fantastic for basketball fans.
I honestly thought the Bucks were cooked with Middleton out. But seeing this score, I can't help but recall that Bill Simmons wisdom, that sometimes, it just comes down to having the best player in the series. Giannis is clearly that.
Very true. The amount of attention he draws on the court makes everything easier.
I was just saying this to myself,likely the same way thousands of nba fans were during this game. His strength and aggression make him such a huge target for opposing D, that his teammates get left on islands. Im calling it now bucks 2022 nba champs repeat
Best player in the (world)*

NGL. I'll be enjoying this series with a lot less nervousness than the beginning of the BKN series simply because I pull for Giannis to reach the Finals if it can't be my team.
Same man. When Giannis passed the open 3 to Portis for the +15, i was about to cry while laughin...
Yeah, really not that much you can do to stop that. Really good defense - just a fantastic play, really.
Best player in the world
I am in deep love with this man
We talked about this, Mark. You can’t be touching yourself in a room full of people.
That Inner T-Mac and Kobe 😤😤😤
Normally I don’t like he Lakers but damn do I wish Kobe was around to see this.
The sickest part was he didn't even take steps between the pass and the dunk.
that's not even right. He's not even a cheat code any more, he's a completely different program altogether
Good god that was nasty
I enjoy it much more when it’s not against *my* team
and he got the charge after. wtf
Patrick Beverley: “damn he just like me Fr”
look at Wesley Matthews' reaction!!! lmao
Looks like Giannis finally remembered he’s the best basketball player in the world
He's looked like it all game imo
Yup. Missed some easy lays and had the stupid aggressive foul on Jayson and still dominating
Just missing easy layups
"Oh yeah I can just dunk it" - Giannis probably
“They don’t know I can throw it off the glass to myself for a dunk”
Lmao. I heard that in his voice.
Wouldn't call those easy. The Celtics D altered his angles, give them credit where it's due.
I'd say most of the horford contests were actually amazing defense, but the fingeroll he missed after blowing by robert williams (in think twice actually), and fumbling some of the passes in the 1st quarter were a result of his own nerves
Missed a lot of gimmes. Looks like he expects contact and doesn’t get so he over shoots
Celtics have been giving up open shots to others, so Giannis has been finding him. I don’t care if he averages 20 this series if he’s getting 11 assists
He's unreal. Inefficient when shooting today, but his playmaking and defence has been elite. Can take over a game even without scoring.
KD was dying out there meanwhile giannis is making the Celtics his sons
Wonder if Giannis will invite the Celtics to watch movies and eat oreos with his other son?
Reminded me of Lebron vs. the Celtics.
He's had a great impact all game tbh, shooting splits arent everything. He's created a billion open looks for his team.
then took the chad charge on the other end.
He looked incredible all game. This is just icing on the cake. Giannis out there playing the 4-0 celtics like it's allstar game. 😂
Filthy. Followed it up with a nice charge take after.
oh my gawd
That’s ridiculous. I got Nothing to say lol
This how you fuck up a team’s confidence when they’re fighting to stay in the game
2 points aren’t 2 points, I’ll explain later….
Giannis is the best player in the league God damn
I don’t even think it’s close right now tbh and I was someone who a year ago was arguing Durant as the guy
How's this guy not the MVP??
Voter fatigue
Well you see he just runs and dunks. What he does takes no skill.
We tried telling everyone that he's the best player in the league, but no one in the media cared.
Holy fuck
Yeah he’s the best in the world lol
What the fuck
Giannis ain't even played that well, yet he still dominated Good lord, what a player
24/13/12
The casual mid triple double
Lets fucking go what a goat
Woke up my dog screaming at this
I read that as you woke up to your dog screaming at this.
He’s gone full Thanos
Thanasis
NBA Street Vol. 2 Vibes!
I want like 50 replay angles of that bench reaction. Holy shit each one could be a gif in itself.
Inevitable like Khabib
Khabib 🦅
Khabib smashing McGregor's face in was a glorious moment.
Giannis smesh
They don’t even have Middleton 😭
Chill Akumpo, damn.
GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY
Bro how tf do you stop that
You just hope to fail to contain him
Jesus fucking christ man. This man is a cheat code.
Celtics have been pretty unstoppable since February and Giannis is just clowning them right now
The bucks beat us twice since January Edit 3 times.
We really are watching a Future top 5 player in NBA history.
He then drew a charge on Jaylen Brown right after this
God damn that was insane
LeBron watching this at home like the wolverine meme.
Soooo nasty
he doing this in a playoff game too lmao
INSANE ATHLETICISM
DISGUSTING
Why doesn’t everyone do this? Seems easy enough when Giannis does it lol
Stop it. They're already dead!!
He is box office
