Giannis Antetokounmpo

On the list of players that defenders least want to see driving down the lane at full speed, Giannis Antetokounmpo likely ranks among the top. Victory in his sights in a tie game with a minute remaining, the two-time Most Valuable Player readies himself, perfectly synchronizing his drive with a teammate’s screen to pave the way for a physical, one-handed flush to grant the Milwaukee Bucks the lead for good. Helping ensure the win over the San Antonio Spurs, Antetokounmpo’s box score on January 4, 2024 was video game-esque: 44 points on 19-of-28 shooting, along with 14 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block, and a pair of 3-pointers.
