Giannis Antetokounmpo has led the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA championship in 50 years, closing out the Phoenix Suns in the Finals on Tuesday night, 105-98.

Antetokounmpo scored 50 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, recorded five blocks and dished out two assists in the win. He is the first player since Shaquille O’Neal to record 40 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in any playoff game, according to ESPN Stats & Info. O’Neal did it in 2001.

He's also the first player to have a 50-10-5 stat line since blocks were first tracked in the 1973-74 season.

This was the first year that I didn’t watch any of the NBA Finals.

I just caught the last three quarters. Giannis is a monster. He deserved to win.

Now back to avoiding sports.

What American patriot would turn on the TV to watch the NBA? I hope whoever did was not an influencer of young people.

Giannis was a street vendor as a child in order to help his parents have enough to feed their family. Basketball brought him to the US where he worked hard to become the best. That’s one heck of an immigrant story! Maybe we should be telling people about that.

Giannis is a BLM megaphone, if you havent paid attention. Almost everyone of his shirt is about “tha movement against whitey”.

Lol. Did you watch any of the rest of the playoffs? He choked his way through the playoffs. He should not be the series MVP. He missed 3 free throws in the closing minutes of deciding game 5. Middleton and Holiday had much more to do with winning this series.

He’s done so poorly in the last 3 playoffs it’s hard to root for him anymore. The thing hes best at now is doing a bend Simmons impression.

Finishing up the season on July 20.

Shouldn’t basketball be over by May or something?
