Dunkapalooza, Starring Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks put on a show against the Suns last night. Who cares if they lost, just enjoy.

We're big fans of the Greek Freak around these parts (not uncommon), and he and the Bucks rewarded that fandom with a spectacular few minutes in the third quarter against the Phoenix Suns last night. They would drop the game to Phoenix 102-96, but forget about that. Just watch Giannis and Brandon Knight explode to the rim.  And if short video clips are just too much for you on this frigid Wednesday morning, you're in luck. We've got GIFs.

Here's Giannis soaring for a dunk from, I think, the bench. Sometimes, people who are 75 percent limbs can look awkward and unwieldy, but not Giannis. He looks like he is doing exactly what he should be doing, in exactly the way it should be done. (Don't sleep on that behind-the-back pass to Brandon Knight in the video, though.)

And here's Brandon Knight absolutely hammering in a dunk. My favorite part is how Eric Bledsoe thinks about contesting it for about one second and then thinks better of it. Get 'em next time.
