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.

The season got pushed way back because the schedule was changed due to the pandemic.

Yeah. I’m a very tall guy that was considered for the Israeli Olympic basketball team (which was actually OK). Recruited to D1 schools. But went to engineering instead.

And I didn’t watch a single game of the NBA.

I didn’t even know the finals were on.

Wow, one group of America-hating racist Marxists beat another group of America-hating racist Marxists. I’m impressed.

I watched the end of the game. Not into hoops in recent years but I follow it a little.

Chris Paul, never gonna get a ring.

The sports media no longer wants African-Americans to be the heros of the nba finals.

They were on their knees for the African-Greek named Janice Alphabet.

One of these black racist franchises had to win, I suppose. In better days, I used to be passionate about the NBA. Too bad, but most of these guys despise me.

So what! Who cares?! The same with mlb, nfl, college sports and the olympics. It has all become infected by the left, cannot be saved and deserves to die.

The Freak shot 19 FTs. The Bucks as a team shot 29.

The entire Suns team shot 19 FTs.

That’s how its been the last 4 games.

Rigged

And the NBA loves a good immigrant story and puts their thumb on the scale for them during the games.

I have been thinking the NFL has been rigged ever since the refs screwed Dez Bryant out of a his catch six years ago. Romo deserved a superbowl win IMHO.

There have been calls in playoff games since then that seem too fishy and make my case.
