Giannis Antetokounmpo is tearing up the NBA with game-winning performances in practically every game. Milwaukee Bucks once again emerged victorious on Thursday night because of Giannis? inspiring display.
‘The Greek Freak’ went off against the Brooklyn Nets. He scored 44 points and a crucial stepback three in the dying seconds to force the game into overtime and eventually winning it by only a single point. After forcing overtime, Giannis was fouled in the second last possession and made two free throws winning the game for the Bucks.

This was the second game in a row where Giannis came in clutch for the Bucks. In fact, he has been doing that all season. But the block on Embiid in the last game, game-tying three-pointer, and two free throws have been the clear match winners in every sense of the term.

After scoring 44, Giannis also became Bucks? all-time leading scorer.
Giannis Antetokounmpo does it all!
Giannis might not have many weaknesses in his game but he is often credited with the fact that he can only dunk. His shooting prowess has been doubted quite a few times. Moreover, that doubt has not been majorly by only the fans.
Giannis, winking, when asked what it meant to become the Bucks' all-time leading scorer:
"It's good because I'm changing the narrative. I don't want to be the guy only that dunks and runs. I can make a three."

Back in 2020, James Harden commented on Giannis being purely someone who dunks. He scored a massive game-tying three-pointer and two free throws to win the game against Harden?s former side to set the record straight.?
Harden had hit at him, commenting, ?I wish I could just run and be 7-feet and just dunk. Like that takes no skill at all.??
After the performance against the Nets, a 5 word comeback from Giannis was proof of the fact that Giannis is always aiming to be better in every aspect. He said, ?I can make a three.?
The fans absolutely loved it and tried to rub it in.

You got ESPN analysts saying this man isn’t the best player in the nba cuz he can’t shoot. It wasn’t directly a shot to Harden. Lots of media people still doubt this man
