People have been clowning Giannis’s free throws all season then he goes 17-19 and drops 50. Legendary performance, one of the greatest Finals perfomances ever
@M. S. Championship still a championship whats your point kiddo 😂. Ain’t no ones going like “that one doesn’t count” still a ring fool. Go to sleep child 😂
@M. S. injuries are part of basketball. bucks might’ve had back to back if middleton get injured for the celtics series. but guess what, he was injured
@Elons Musk Man you gotta be one of the stupidest people alive, how would they even rig it? And even if it was possible, why would they rig it for a small market team like Milwaukee? You clearly have no knowledge of the real world, you're just stuck in your own delusions.
@DJ-RocketMan dumbass ppl with god will literally kill their daughters for not following god's dumbass rules lmao. Non religious ppl are more loving and respectful than religious ppl most of the time
Exactly 20 days before the sixth final, Giannis suffered an injury that would disarm a common human for many months. He stayed out for a week - the only time others had to carry him on his back - and returned in time for the first final, to play 40 minutes in a devastating rhythm. I do not know if I have ever seen such a performance from anyone in a title match. He is the humble ambassador of good hope, has virtues that now seem elusive. He is faithful and devoted. He knows how to forgive. He knows how to respect. He is not ungrateful. If he was ungrateful, he would play today in the Warriors or in Miami or in Dallas. But no. He wanted, first and foremost, to justify the people who believed in him, who gave him a chance, who pulled him out of the swamp. That gave him a new life. Luckily for her, the city of Milwaukee has acquired her messiah, a superhero whose arms reach into space and his feet touch the ground.
What a bunch of bloviating BS. I love Giannis but you're just trying to sound good and it's corny, long winded and mostly unnecessary. Shut your goofy ass up. "Pulled him out of the swamp" ??? What ? Goof. Ambassador of good hope ? Messiah ? He's a basketball player, not a war hero.
2 MVPs, All-star MVP, Defensive POY, Finals MVP and an NBA Champion at age 26 without joining a superteam. This should put Giannis on the guaranteed HOF
@M. S. injuries are a part of sports bro ur forgetting giannis was injured throughout the finals as well. If we’re gonna be picky about injuries we would have to take away like 75% of championship banners from teams, as a diehard Raptors fan, the Bucks earned that championship and if you put up 50 points in the finals, there’s no luck there
@M. S. I really hope it's a rematch of the Bucks against the Suns in this year's finals. You're a moron if you think Milwaukee got away with beating a weak team. What's Phoenix's record right now? Give me a break.
"It's over the bucks have done it the long wait is has ended. After half a century the Milwaukee bucks are NBA champions once again" Still gives me chills hearing that even after 7 months
I must admit! What Bucks and Giannis did after a 2-0 loss was the best that happened in my life the last 3 years. It was an amazing experience to watch such a recovery. Thanks!
@Grievous fought they're way up 😂😂 you mean saved by great front offices, KD makes sense considering he had an amazing front office but Bron was left to save the cavs for 7yrs by himself with no co star being brought in no shit left and even then he still came back to bring that ungrateful city a ring with a co star in Kyrie
Yea that’s why Steph and Giannis are more respected than Kd or Lebron because Curry and Giannis have stayed with their teams through the hardest times and have fought their way up.
I'll start off by saying I stopped being a Lebron fan years ago because (among other reasons) he keeps leaving organizations to build super teams. However, Cleveland from 2003-2010 never built a championship roster. The fact that Lebron carried them to a finals appearance was an achievement in and of itself. That front office needed a wake up call and they got it.
Man I will NEVER forget this day.. this series.. this season as a whole. I’m all smiles over here. Go Bucks Giannis bringing a 3rd trophy back to Wisconsin this year.
Congratulations to the Milwaukee Bucks on winning the 2021 NBA Finals. Congratulations to Giannis Antetokounmpo on winning the 2021 NBA Finals MVP. Well deserved! 👍
@Jordan Cruz ...to be exact, he started playing basketball at 13 (early 2007) - so he's been playing basket for 14+ years now, not 10. Other than that, what truly IS astonishing about him - compared to other NBA players, especially American ones - is that he never had the luxury of learning how to play, in the US. I however do not think that he will ever manage to be a "great shooter", because his bodily skills almost compel him to rather go for the drive, instead of developing the need to shoot the ball from mid, or even long range. That said, he IS gonna be as effective as hell in the years to come and will definitely post-up some ridiculous numbers in various stat categories and probably break some long-forgotten all-time records as well...
I had a pit in my stomach watching these final minutes because it was such a close game but then the Bucks pulled away and I was so happy! Also these were the first Finals I’ve ever experienced in my life so I’m happy the team I wanted to win did.
When the SUNs were up 2-0 over the bucks everyone in social media, espn, nba tv, all they talked about was how CP3 has waited for this moment. Yep I guess that is what happens when u make it about one person.
@TyDye238 not only that, but it was over when our coach decided to put Jrue on CP3 Full Court, let Booker get whatever he wants while keeping the other out of it. Also attacking CP3 by switching and making him work on defense. Booker went Super Saiyan in Game 6, but without Paul's Playmaking and him running plays, due to Jrues defense, the entire team did nothing. Game 5 we turned it over like crazy at the start and rushed possessions, the Suns shot 13-19 From 3 and our Big 3 scored 25+ each, and we won. Despite the Suns shooting 55/68/91 Splits. That just shows you how unstoppable we are when our Big 3 plays well. That was the point where the series was over. Then Game 6 everyone started bricking everything cuz they were nervous, and the 2x MVP and DPOY took us home with 50 14 5 Blocks. PHX stayed in the Vame by making extremely tough shots, especially Chris Paul. In short, the Bucks should've blown out the Suns Games 4-6, but it's a testament to the Suns and how resilient they were throughout the entire series.
@Chris Kay Underrated comment. Once the Bucks wised up, put Giannis at 5 and attacked PNR, and other variables like Jrue's D, Patty C on the glass, etc., it was a wrap. Even when Suns had momentum swings, Bucks took them RIGHT back.
My wife and I were living in Milwaukee at the time and wanted to go down to the deer district for games 3 or 4 or 6 to help celebrate the Bucks playoffs even though we're both from Tucson AZ , the only reason we decided not to go besides parking and walking was that I have AZ plates!😁 I'll never forget that just being there for the championship. Bucks in 6 was so improbable after going down 0-2. Go Bucks!
I'm a die hard Lakers fan,but congratulations Bucks, congratulations Giannis! You all deserve it! My biggest respect for you all!50th anniversary, 50 points in Finals! Legendary performance! 😎
When Milwaukee called timeout with :25 left and Mark Jackson said "they're starting to celebrate here in Milwaukee" I absolutely lost it and went to my knees tearing up. This is cliche but I legit felt like I was dreaming for a second. I can't help but watch this every week or two to relive it
Are we gonna ignore the fun fact that Giannis and his two brothers are I guess, the first trio brothers that won an NBA Championship and 2nd, 3rd and 4th pair of brothers that did it as well? 🤣
@Rain Organas HAHAHAHAHAHA dont cry idiot, no one is sad, maybe your parents are because they have a child with a reading comprehension of a 10 yr old 😂😂😂😂😂
I think what made the Bucks go from good to great was that they did what was best for the team. Giannis isn't a closer nor is he a "point forward" and thats ok. Throughout the series they allow Holiday to orchestrate and initiate the offense, in last 3 minutes of a game Middleton was the closer. Giannis was actively looking to empower those guys and give them the ball. Other superstar always complain that they have no help but don't empower the guys around them and give them a real opportunity to help. Thats how basketball should be played.
Congratulations Bucks... it's indeed your season! 👏👏👏 keep it up hopefully -calmness, humbleness and loyalty to the team will still exist on the next years to come😊 You deserved it all!
I will be honest here. I was crying after this game, you know i’m a suns fan. y’know how we love our team and always want to support it. Yeah that’s it. I’ve never hated. I think every fan has thier own right to support thier team. there is a reason why everyone loves thier team. I know. I thought about everything, all those tireless nights i stayed up to watch these suns games, how much it hurt me when we lost any game. I’m just trying to say it was a great series and please dont hate. you might say that the suns winning and the bucks winning is fraudulent but you dont know how much these players practice, spend tireless nights to get better. It is hard to win in the nba itself, just love your team, support it, and don’t hate. I will always support my suns.
Bucks fan here, thank u man. Your dedication to the Suns moved me so much. Now yall may be made fun of sometimes, And dont let any other Bucks fans tell you that the Suns suck yall were undefeated in the bubble!!! The Suns are one of my favorite teams in the west since when Oubre was once there. Keep supporting the Valley man and your time will shine soon bro!!!!!
being able to be at deer district for the ecf and the finals was litterly insane. historic as it gets and a monent I will never ever forget in my life.
Ahh the bucks and the bros all have rings this is what I wanted to see all along congratulations to the bucks first championship since 1971 the biggest congratulations to the bucks! So proud! # bros making sports history!
Very happy for the Bucks and the GOAT. Yes I mean the big O. I remember listening on radio as a kid while he played for the Cincinnati Royals! I guess some things never change!
Just shows what a great big man can do against the soft shooting teams of today. This series all came down to Giannis' size in the paint. The block, the easy points in the paint.
A while later into Game 6 of the 2021 NBA Finals between the Phoenix Suns and the Brooklyn Nets from the Barclays Center… Mike Breen: 6.5 seconds remain on the clock here in the fourth quarter as the Brooklyn Nets lead 124-98 thanks to their new friend, Temporary Brooklyn Net #27, Empress Madame Ninja Barrett. Little is known about this sports star from the wrestling circuit other than her ability to predict the movements and read the patterns of her opponents. This is now her 6th consecutive NBA Finals appearance with 4 different teams. Jeff Van Gundy: Mike, I don’t know if you know this, but this is actually the same arena Ninja evolved in almost 4 years prior to tonight. Empress Madame Ninja Barrett: (with the basketball in her possession clearly preparing herself to end the series in favor of the Brooklyn Nets.) *takes a deep breath, sharply exhales* Okay. You can do this, Ninja. Time to finish this and claim your sixth NBA Championship within a 4 year span of evolving and becoming the first ever female Grand WWE Champion. I have to be mindful, though. There’s only 6 seconds left on the clock after all. (readying herself to throw her special shot as she channels her heart and soul into the ball.) I think it’s time for me to go for my patented special shot. *unleashes a Super Saiyan scream* (goes Super Saiyan much to the surprise of both teams.) Let’s see you boys handle this. Okay. Just do the thing, Ninja. Here we go. 1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to make ready and 4 to go. I call this one right here the Curse Breaker’s Drought Quenching Kiss of Death. (throws her special shot from the half court line and watches as it goes in.) Hopefully, that should do it. Mike: It’s now 127-98. I don’t know what happened, but they’ve now soared into a staggering lead. *buzzer sounds* Mike: And it looks like the Barclays Center magic is there for her one final time as the Brooklyn Nets are NBA Champions. Ninja: (transforms back to normal and gracefully drops the basketball onto the court while wiping the sweat from her brow.) *dusts off her hands* Well, I think this’ll make for an interesting MVP conversation. *chuckles to herself* (sees her fellow Brooklyn Nets approaching her.) That’s the end of that, I suppose. Kevin Durant: I guess so. James Harden: Well, you certainly gave the Phoenix Suns a show they’ll never forget. Blake Griffin: Judging by your performance, I won’t put it past you if you somehow manage to beat Kevin Durant for Finals MVP. Ninja: No, I’ve got a feeling that he’ll still get that accolade in the end. If anything, I’m basically just the one who put the final touches. Kyrie Irving: Oh, that’s true. Iman Shumpert: Wait. So, how many points did you end up getting us? Ninja: I extended our lead by 29 points. LeMarcus Aldridge: Whoa. Ninja: (as she changes back into her normal attire, which consists of the black metallic General Manager’s outfit, the pair of Elias’s wristbands, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship around her waist, the Constable of SmackDown medal around her neck with the red heart locket, the Snake Amulet and the Lone Wolf amulet pendant also around her neck, the black metallic TNA General’s coat and hat, the full body armor set based off of the Bane of Darkness Spirit, Galeem which was fused with the light of Ultra Necrozma, Fused Zamasu and Ashrah and the black metallic hitman’s outfit.) I think I’m just going to stick around for the trophy presentation and then just go. Jeff Green: Okay. DeAndre Jordan: Alright. Joe Harris: So, this is actually the place where your evolution took place. Ninja: Yes. Steve Nash: (approaches their new friend and pets her.) Good work, Ninja. Ninja: Thank you, Coach. I know how awkward that must’ve been for you going up against a team that you used to play for all those years ago. I’m just glad I was able to help you with winning an NBA Championship. Steve: Yeah. I don’t know if you were able to tell, but it was tremendously awkward. Ninja: Mmm. I can only imagine. So, I got to ask the all important question. How close is this Finals MVP race between myself and Monsieur Durant? Steve: Well, I’m glad you asked, Ninja because it’s officially so painstakingly yet tantalizingly close that the both of you can taste it. Ninja: Let me guess. My dear friend, NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver now has the deciding vote for the 5th time in 6 seasons? Steve: Yes, he does actually. Ninja: It figures. I mean, I think I have a clear edge here because I evolved into the Empress and Grand WWE Champion right here in the Barclays Center almost 4 years prior to this. Steve: Oh, that’s right. Ninja: (sees that another ability has been unlocked.) Oh, cool. A new ability. I wonder what I gained this time. Brooklyn’s Blessing. Alright. Let’s find out what exactly it entails, shall we? (reads up on it.) Oh, okay. So, this will boost my speed and Curse Breaker critical hit ratio by 65% if I either play a game or win a match here in Brooklyn. Steve: (notices the NBA Commissioner approaching them out of the corner of his eye.) Oh, I think someone wants to see you, Ninja. Ninja: (sees her dear friend, the NBA Commissioner and approaches him.) Oh, Monsieur Silver. Adam Silver: (embraces his dear friend, the Empress and Grand WWE Champion as she returns it.) My friend, you killed it. Ninja: Thank you, Monsieur Silver. Adam: You did so good. Oh, (as he motions toward the Head Coach of the Golden State Warriors.) I think someone else also wants their hug. Ninja: Oh. (as she embraces the Head Coach of the Golden State Warriors.) Hey, Monsieur Kerr. Steve Kerr: (returns her embrace and gives her a peck on the cheek.) I’ll gladly echo the sentiment of whatever Commissioner Silver just said.
