I think Game 4 is when we needed him most. Even just two or three tough buckets down the stretch maybe help us hang on in that 4th quarter, but with how Tatum was playing who even knows? Injuries are part of the game and I’m not gonna take anything away from Boston. They deserved to win 100%. It’s especially impressive how they got their heads straight after that wild game 5 collapse.
This championship is special because the Bucks didn't have to sign or trade for any superstars(and they beat the Nets team that tried to get all the superstars). They built their own superstar and their own team. Congrats!
@@flysoulja kd wasn't injured. It was kd vs giannis, superstar vs superstar. Game 7 went to overtime in Brooklyn and kd went 0-6. Giannis beat kd on his home floor
The way the sports industry was portraying Giannis to never win a championship feels real amazing to see him prove them wrong, but when I saw Booker say “damn” that did hit me too ngl 😅
Exactly, I loved this finals matchup cause you can root for both sides, it wasn’t the warriors or lebron for once. Both teams deserved to win but man Giannis was historic
This was a good finals, as a raptors fan I was so happy for Giannis, the Bucks, and the whole city of Milwaukee when they got this one. No better feeling, also loved that this was the first finals with fans back goddamn was that uplifting to see.
@@fabriziotrocchia2302 i mean, he always attacks the basket and is almost unstoppable most of the time. They either had to foul him so he can put up shots in the line,(giannis is known for being below average free throw shooter at that time) or give him the easy 2 points all the time.
I went to game 3 and I’ve got to say it was one of (if not the best) best experience ever. The people over there are as nice as the people in Canada, the stadium food was nice, and when I went outside everyone was screaming the same thing which was “BUCKS IN SIX, BUCKS IN SIX” and I started screaming with them.
This was a great series, and the crowd was incredibly loud, im so happy for Giannis and the bucks that they won last year, the last 2 nba seasons have been great because last year we saw the Bucks win it and this year my Warriors won it. Can’t wait for next season

I loved how Giannis was emotional winning his first title it was amazing watching this game!! Very inspirational. And once Giannis retires, he’ll retire with a ring
I admit, although as a long-time Dubs fan and we won the title again for the 4th time, we would've had a Warriors vs Bucks/NBA Finals this year had Middleton not gone down.
We still winning it though. With the way Milwaukee defends the three, our Warriors would cook them, especially considering that Giannis is a one man army. Look at how the Warriors completely dismantled Jokic's nuggets, and Luka's Mavericks. That would be an easy task for the Warriors.
4:50 Middleton celebrating even tough giannis got fouled They trust him no matter what That's what a great leader (In giannis) brings to a team Trust each other no matter what
What? In that moment if I was Middleton: I would be thinking I just just won a chip!! Not how many points my teammate gets or how “I trust him” like what?
@@pmeditzz Maybe both? I mean the momentum has shifted once Middleton hit that dagger fadeaway, most of the Bucks players (if you watched the all access for game 6) kinda knew they were gonna win around either the 24 sec mark or right during the Giannis Tucker chest bump. I think Middleton is actually egging Giannis to get 50 since he is making history as the 2nd guy to get 50 on a game clincher since Bob Petit from 1958
As a bucks fan it felt sooo good to finally have the respect we deserved. When Giannas was drafted reporters laughed at him because he wanted to win a MVP and the Finals and that’s how it was with curry also but look who is laughing now Curry:4x champion 2x MVP 1x Finals MVP Giannas:2xMVP 1x champion 1x Finals MVP I’m ready to see Antetokounmpo win another one he is a beast he is on my best PF of all time
@@dant3_rodant395 well boston did pretty well against the warriors and i believe middleton would've been the difference in those close games the bucks had against the celtics. Bucks could've done well against the warriors. we'll never know though, no need to act like we know everything and say the warriors would've smoked milwaukee. it's done now lol.
i remember the dread of the Bucks being 0-2. And everyone started saying "Bucks in 6" and every single game was a rush, i was at a bar in Milwaukee for game 6 and it was absolutely exhilarating
I will never forget this, being in deer district, Giannis dropping 50, bucks winning after 50 years the celebration afterwards, this is the reason I love sports

@@SF48292 hell no we don't need the warriors in the finals anymore for atleast 10 years but Celtics would be interesting. And heat vs mavs is basically history repeating itself and seeing that mavs vs heat rivalry in the finals continue. I don't see any of that boring
As much as I'm happy for the Bucks and feel sad for CP3, I see Booker looking at a champion celebrating and immediately I look forward to him celebrating a championship, he's a true character!
Chris Paul has been through some very harsh moments for real.. it really makes me wonder how he feels after losing over and over again every year when being so close to winning a championship.
That list of players to score 50 points in a Finals... rare company. Every one of them other than Giannis and LeBron in the Hall of Fame... and I think we can safely say that LeBron and Giannis are both destined for it as well.
I’d put Giannis ahead of KD. He led his own team to win the championship and the FMVP. Plus two regular seasons MVP. Plus one Defensive Player of the Year!

The crazy thing is the Bucks having 2 of those ex Suns in their actual lineup now is maddddddd
“The brilliance of the young man from Athens”
I don't think anyone understands how clutch that Middleton dagger was
That's who Khris has always been. He'll have 5 points after 3 quarters, then score 17 in the 4th, with the clutch clinching shot with :40 left.
He’s underrated.
A playoff run a series a game in a night I will never forget thank you giannis
That is the single most impressive close-out performance in Finals history.
