Milwaukee Bucks guard-forward-superhero Giannis Antetokounmpo is a fixture on our blog and others for one simple reason — he does things that few of us have ever seen before. He is still growing while playing games against adults, has the longest stride in the league, and can get owners to lament passing on him in the draft despite the fact that his PER just barely tops the standard at 15.2.
So it's somewhat shocking, if also still really cool, when Antetokounmpo comes through with an amazing highlight that could belong to many other players, at least at first glance. With around 2:50 to go in the third quarter of Friday's home game vs. the Miami heat, Jabari Parker found Giannis near the basket in transition with a chance to dunk. Chris Bosh met him in mid-air near the block, but Antetokounmpo extended his incredibly long right arm to throw it down over the All-Star, plus the foul.
