When you cannot decide whether you are more impressed by the offensive or the defensive highlights, you know you are in the presence of greatness.
Nets own bucks 🤡
@@SF48292 is that why you lost to us?
@@SF48292 aweeee someone still mad they lost. Damn shame you still can’t take your L respectfully. Sad af
Giannis is SO good, the whole Bucks team is amazing. It's been so fun to watch.
He is the best 2 way player in the league by miles. He is elite in offence and defense and he carried the Bucks over the finish line in game 6 - playing through injury. The team will be even better next playoffs if healthy. I expect more from Jrue this year - he was good but we know he can play better, he is a hell of a player.
HOF resume at age 27. Sky really is the limit for Giannis
Watch him jump through the clouds and enter space. He could very well become the greatest ever to dunk a basketball...
*!AND MARK THESE WORDS!*
Oh yeah, he’s guaranteed HoF at this point
@@jackwinter1507 he already is if you are a back to back mvp you are already a hof
@@YepsTheGreat he’s not gonna become the goat relax. I can see him being top 10 maybe top 5 but not top 3
@@MM-jc7uv *YES...* That's what u see. But in reality i don't know the end of the story n u don't know it either. So we can only speculate... Don't tell me to relax brotha. Let a nigga be in his energy. Matter of fact i think we're gonna repeat, but don't mark these words🙄
That iconic Block on Ayton reflects his whole imprint in the game: tremendous athleticism, incomparable defensive iq, hunger to win, clutch gene.
I remember the announcers saying "Giannis blocked Ayton's layup attempt". If you look at 14:58, there's no way that was going to be anything less than a throw down. Giannis simply surprised Ayton by meeting him halfway up the backboard with what can only be described as perfect timing.
@@ezra.kilpatrick The timing was perfect also due to the fact that Booker threw it too high, making Ayton lose time before descending to throw it down. And Giannis was there for the opportunity.
@@JasTheKariol
I think typically throwing it high is harder to defend if the roller is good. If you have a very athletics big (like prime Dwight Howard or Blake), you are supposed to lob it high, because your big can catch it high while your opponent big can't.
Just guessing though... never played basketball in a high level where I need to think about such thing.
not incomparable but yes
It looks even more improbable in slow motion.
Didnt realise Giannis owns the Knicks
Came here for this comment 😭
Giannis lowkey owns like 20 sumtn teams
One of the most prolific owners in NBA history
After Kobe retired, some1 had to. He passed the torch to him
As a Knicks fan since birth in 1998, he does 😂
#1 is hands down the best defensive recovery in NBA history!
Nope it’s Lebrun, and I don’t like Lebron.
@@worldofsoccer4104 Giannis' was much way difficult to do and it needs to have such mentality like Giannis have to contest a lob to a 7 footer like ayton
Easily
@@worldofsoccer4104 wrong.
@@worldofsoccer4104 the only argument for LeBron's block is it happened in game 7. But the OP is talking about recovery. Giannis is covering two guys at the same time, Ayton was already going up while Giannis was still turning around.
My fav Giannis Moments are from Early in his carrer. When us all as fans only had hope… Seeing glimpses of what Giannis would become. Gives me goosebumps.
Fr...and now we looking at the Giannis that became...#Champs
Greetings from Greece, I know what you mean, his future trademark plays were encapsulated in that 2:17 moment! Deny you at the rim and proceed to destroy you in transition.
“That’s gotta be top ten all time”
Actually Khris this dude is so nuts it’s only No. 15 😂
Giannis just has too many disgustingly good plays. And of course the dunks are always gonna be higher up, because they're flashier.
he means layup moves in general not shot, stop etc.
Happy Birthday Greatest Player of All Time.
I had not realised (until this video) how many games he has already judged by overturning the score in the last seconds of the match! Giannis is the real MVP!! MVP of our hearts!!!
But the media keep saying he can't close smh
@@suzettewilkie3327 That’s the way media works. But Giannis always responds with actions on the basketball court and the history he has written so far!
@@suzettewilkie3327 the media is sour that Gianis isn't an american made player. He came from Greece and schooled everyone in the NBA, so they hate on that fact. He deserves to be called the best in the league for like 3 years now, yet they keep saying crap like "he's close to the top 10". Bruh.
@@omulamfibie Absolutely nailed it with your comment 💯
He also lead 4th quarter scoring this year.
Χρόνια πολλα Γιάνναρε με υγεια και ευτυχία στην οικογένεια σου!
Poli orea
Didn't know that Giannis' bday was after my bday, happy bday to the Greek Freak
Your name is awesome💯👌
Happy Birthday to you!!
He's first a Nigerian okay!
Giannis is one if the most smartest players in NBA
Happy Birthday Giannis 🇳🇬 🇬🇷 🇺🇸
The most dominant superstar since shaq. The pure monster and diamond
The last play against the suns in game 6 still gives me goosebumps every time I watch it
That stare though......
Knocked away and stolen by Holiday. Phoenix has to foul and Giannis throws it down. And a foul! Giannis on the alley-oop. What a turnaroud!
The best sequence of plays that I've watched in the NBA. Legendary! Happy birthday Greek Freak! 😤
CP3 should get a flagrant. If Giannis didn't get a hold on the rim, it could be a really dangerous landing.
@@aalluubbaa yeah agree. CP3 at times plays dirty.
Mike Breen is badass
@@aalluubbaa and nobody says anything about it. Imagine if it was lebron
@@Rudy-xs8lz It's like the league has to balance the game so they don't call that many fouls on Giannis.
He legit knows how to use every inch of his height and wingspan,he's the best shot blocker since mutumbo his blocks are demoralizing you can see the soul leave their bodies
That block on zubac. He won’t ever be jumping with giannis again haha
I wish I could relive the finals. Man, Greek God for a reason!
They say it was luck,but you could feel the magic in that NBA FINALS,Giannis grew up/graduated in front of our eyes.....the irony of having the best came of your career in the biggest game of your career is just nuts,the 50 year drought with 50/14/5 in a closeout game 6 going 17-19 from the line 👏 that's legendary
When you see that half the highlight reel are defensive stops and recoveries, then you realise that you re seeing a different kind of player. Also at age 27 Giannis can fill up hours and hours of highlights in video. Not only scoring and blocking though. He has learned how to play basketball in Greece, Europe. So he reads the court like a guard. He laser assists like LeBron. He creates space like no other. I mean bless him to stay healthy cause if he does, he will evolve to the best player ever, cause he has Kobe s and MJ s work ethic. Happy birthday Champ!
Χρόνια πολλά Γιάννη! Πάντα γερός, σιδερένιος και οτι επιθυμείς για εσένα και την οικογένεια σου! Thank you for all the joy and happiness you bring to our lives!
The most savage thing giannis has done in his career was disrespect the entire sixers fanbase by sitting like that, hitting two daggers, and Ordering a Phili Cheese during his post game interview 😂
Man I miss the Bradley center, happy birthday to the man who keeps basketball entertaining
Same
I was born the year after the first Bucks Championship. I didn't think it would ever happen again. Thank you Giannis
"so I decided to avoid him midair.."
Giannis
That defensive iq and precision so satisfying to watch
Very savvy on the weakside,chase downs, and straight up ALL-TIME recovery ability
bro everytime I’m watching Giannis highlights, my mind is blown
Many thanks to the Milwaukee Bucks video team for putting this together. The first person commentary on some of the plays adds more dimension. That coupled with the cinematography and editing builds on the foundation that was pioneered by NFL Films. Of course Giannis makes a very compelling subject. It was probably harder to figure out what to exclude than what include. Happy 27th birthday to Giannis. It's amazing that he has EARNED the title of future Hall of Famer at such a young age and still just entering the prime of his career.
happy birthday greek freak god bless you my man
The nicest to ever do it
The fact that he has accomplished what he has at age 27 considering where he started is insane, and he is only in the beginning of his prime, as long as he stays healthy this could be a dynasty. #GREEKFREAK
It's meaningful that the best play of his career is defense
Best block in the Finals ever. He made D Book gave the ball up by his help defense and then to have the energy to recover and make that timely block on a dunk. Man, that's freaking legendary.
#3 after he dunks and looks into the crowd will always be my favorite moment in Milwaukee bucks history!
Might be my favorite sports moment I've ever witnessed!
@@crietzsche Too bad you missed Super Bowl LI.
Happy birthday Giannis. God bless you and your family and give you long life and good health
Without a doubt, the current best player in the NBA.
Mohawk Giannis was just built different god damn
No matter how many times, still feel incredible to see him did it again and again. The Winner.
I like what Giannis does some times when he jumps for a dunk, looking like the jordan jump man logo :)
We're just witnessing history and i'm loving it.
We are proud of you here in Greece🙏
Man top 5 of all time. So inspirational 🙌.
I could watch this the entire day. Happy birthday giannis
Happy birthday giannis. You are the best superstar in the NBA and the future face of the NBA. You will be the greatest
Feliz cumpleaños Giannis 🇵🇷🐐🇬🇷
Happy Birthday Giannis
Giannis the GOAt!
No
@@deimantasdapkus8828 yes
@@dammymurphy3964 there is a guy named Michael Jordan....
@@deimantasdapkus8828 mike is the Goat of all Goat but Giannis is a Goat in his own era.
at 27 my guy is an NBA finals MVP, Champion, back to back mvp,defensive poy, most improved player. Numerous career highlights already unreal numbers for his career, and not to mention a great dude off the court, funny and likable gotta love Gianni’s
I'm a little surprised that Giannis' floater over kevin durant in game 7 didn't make the list. Happy Birthday Giannis. You a legend.
Χρόνια πολλά Γιάννη!🇬🇷🏀 You are our idol.
Damn, the last still makes me cry. I'm glad I was fortunate enough to able to watch almost all these highlights live.
Happy birthday Giannis, hope you can defend the title this season! Thats all us, Bucks fans, want for you and the organization. Go Bucks!
A lot of people forget that the block Giannis got on Ayton was off the leg he hyperextended like 10 days prior. Truly is a freak!
Χρονια πολλα Γιανναρε παικτουρα!!
Γιάννη είσαι ΓΙΓΑΝΤΑΣ!!!!! Σε ευχαριστουμε!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Giannis Giannis Antetokounmpo ❤
Happy Birthday to the Greek Freak. Keep making us proud. We love you bro🇳🇬🇬🇷🇺🇸
Happy birthday, Giannis! You're a freak of a different breed. Enjoy brother!
Happy birthday Greek Freakk🤩🤩
"And I saw Capela coming one of the great blockers"
That's respect right there 🔥
Happy Birthday and God bless you Giannis!!!!! 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂💚!!!! Milwaukee Bucks champions 2021 only with help of God!!!! History made only with help of God!!!! We gonna do it again only with help of God in 2022!!!!! Praised be Jesus Christ!!!!!
Had nothing to do with God man
Amen!
@@evanhaigh8580 How do you know? How can be so sure? Are you God yourself?
@@greekveteran2715 no, just hate when people make excuses for what someone has achieved by stating god helped them. It’s simply delusional and tbf kinda disrespectful, I know if I achieved something I wouldnt be happy with people saying that it was because of God and only with his help.
Happy bday to my new idol in nba players he is the reason why i love wathing nba games today🥰😍😍
Same here. Just started following nba seriously during the play off last season. And what a perfect timing it was.
You deserve all the best
NBA is the best top sport in the world.giannis is my favourite!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHAMP!! ❤🔥💪🏽
The greek freak is the greek god. Mvp and dpoy again this season and back to back champion
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GREEK FREAK AND BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO!!!!! 🇬🇷😤💚🦌
Age is just a number.This guy is 26 and he's one of the best players I've ever seen.He found his God given talent and he's improving.If he can keep improving he may be true greatest ever status by 29/30.
HAPPY B DAY GOAT
2 of his best 3 in the finals... clutch.
Happy bday to the Greek Freak !!
Nigeria is proud of you
🇳🇬🇬🇷🦌
Χρόνια σου πολλά Γιάννη με υγεία και Ευτυχία σε όλη σου την ζωή...σε ευχαριστούμε πολύ για όλα!!!
He is the NEW KING of the DECADE!!!
Idk if anyone agrees but i think this guy has a pottential to become the one only GOAT (he is the best in the league since he was 23)
Basically he can do anything on the court and he can do anything at top level
You are correct, he started his 🐐 run when he won back-to-back MVP and defensive player of the year in the same year. He won a championship 2 years before MJ and 1 year before Lebron.
@@kalinwang1 I've lived to see both Michael Jordan and Giannis. Even though Jordan, had some qualitites, that Giannis doesn't have, still Giannis has other and more qualities, that Jordan didn't have!!! That's why Kevin Durant and many more, have said, that Giannis "Can be, the BEST player to EVER play, if he really wanted to". I know people, who know a lot about basketball, who claim, that Giannis already is the best ever. Shaq has also said, that Giannis is way better than he was.... What more to say?!!
Bigtime, he is arguably the best two way player and "he can't shoot" sarcasm,but think about it he can get 50 in the paint when he really wants it........nkw he's shooting really well in my eyes,this year hes evolving again SMH
@@jonathanalvarez8477 i believe in that man he is top with hakeem and duncan in the best 2 way players list
i wanna add this
this guy is over 2.10 and 115 kilograms of pure muscle , and he IS arguably the most athletic player ever
plus he has unstoppable moves he is not just a brute force
man 'the best and the only' way to stop this guy is to put 3 4 men just guarding him and even with that defense my man can go up for 40 15 in a game , in transition he is simply unstoppable you just get out of the way
what more to say guys this man is just unstoppable at offense and impenetrable in defense
My favorite player right now.I hope he wins more champs and other individual titles
Happy Birthday legend!!!
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
Noone is like him.Best player in the world.period.
Happy birthday to my guy🧁🍰🎂!! Giannis Antetokounmpo! have a great day man!! You r the 🐐 of the NBA
I love the video. I love him. He is an amazing player. I hope he is going down as a forever Legend at the end of his career. My first jersey that I ever bought in my life was his , one year before he won the first ring (because I belive its not going to be his only ring). I knew something,... he has an aura of greatness.
Watching this video, I realized what a amazing journey it was for Giannis to achieve his status as a basketball legend. Very inspirational and great respect. Happy birthday to my favourite player, Giannis! I wish you health and more big achievements!
How the hell did I cry during a highlight video?!?!
Χρόνια πολλά Γιάννη,να είσαι γερός και δυνατός σου εύχομαι...
"AND THE REJECTION BY GIANNIS!!" is the best commentator line on the NBA 2k games by a mile.
I wish I could get that as a notification ringtone.
12:37 That alley oop dunk was my favorite alley oop finish I've seen from giannis
It’ll be in the finals reel forever now
Seems that the Knicks and the Suns are fighting each other for the
"Giannis's Best Client Award". Its a tough game, but I'd say the Suns deserve it more.
Χρόνια πολλά Γιάννη με υγεία,οικογενειακή ευτυχία και αθλητική ανέλιξη.Συνέχισε να είσαι πάντα σεμνός,παράδειγμα προς μίμηση.
absolutely amazing player who will be in the hall of fame without a doubt
The shear amount of athleticism in this play from both 2:46
WOW 5:55
Χρονια πολλα παιχτουρα
Happy Birthday giannis 🎉 good lcl for you❤
7:08: that block on zubac is INSANE
It's amazing that at the age of 27 giannis is already an HOF and what amazes me the most is giannis wasn't like MJ,Bron,Kobe all gifted and skilled at the start giannis worked his ass to be what he is now
Γιάννη είσαι δύναμη,, πάντα υγεία να έχεις παικταρα να μας δίνεις τέτοιες χαρές 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
i remember when he hit that buzzer beater on the knicks i was thinking to my self. This dude is going to win a MVP in the next 5 years. in those 5 years hes won 2 MVPs and a championship. dude is a beast!
That's my boy!!!
Any hall of famer big man would be delighted to have half of these highlights in his career and Giannis has them before turning 27. Definitely the best European player ever and by the end of his career he might be the best big man ever.
Χρόνια πολλά Γιάνναρε!!
It's my cousin's birthday today, but I remember Giannis's first 😂
Happy Birthday Giannis Sina Ugo Adetokunbo.
More years to celebrate.
Expecting you in Nigeria soon. 🇳🇬
GOAT
NOPE
@@deimantasdapkus8828 Lebron or MJ?
Giannis the 🐐
@@tyhelvy7477 i know 💯
It gives me goosebumps to think this legend is from my country 🇬🇷🇬🇷
That last block has to be the greatest block in the history of the NBA.
