2021 NBA Finals: Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks

you think so m bison?

i mean, i used to be a big childhood hoops fan, nba today every week during the classic era. and that play seemed otherWORLDLY holy shit

i don't even know the context, how many games each team has won in the finals, the score, the quarter, nothing. just on it's own, though, that was celestial

it was a "clutch" moment in a critical game, he has ascended mere mortality

if i get a jersey, it's Giannis Antetokounmpo
and i want all of the letters

lol one of the highlights of old yeah championship teams pouring champagne on each other is Kenny Smith pouring champagne on Clyde

we should do an ilh fundraiser to buy a giannis jersey for karl malone (a twisted thought in its way)

sad times. suns played scared, giannis blocked them too many times and they stopped going for dunks. didn't feel nearly as close as the score all game. you could even say the suns were spooked

congrats frogs and eephus!

most points in a clinching game since bob pettis dropped 50 on the celtics in 1958

ilh fundraiser for mutual aid in the honor of giannis' perfection imio

wait, the Bucks won!?

FUCK YEAH!!!!!

the better team won. the other team, whoever they were, did not have Giannis Antetokounmpo

the Suns had the memories of Barkley, they had Kevin Johnson.They had Danny Ainge. They had "Steve Nash". but in 2020-21, they did not have Giannis Antetokounmpo, and that has made off of the difference.

OTM

go bucks

Great stuff from Monty Williams 👏👏👏

xps The best puree tweet of all time

So many legendary players have simply never had a finals game like Giannis just had. And it was the close out game.

nice xp

I didn't watch the game, but I'm very relieved for the sake of my friend's wife, who spent $1100 to be at the game and was extremely emotionally invested. Went to sleep to the sound of (hopefully) fireworks.

I had major flashbacks to being a Rose-era Bulls fan seeing frogbs riding that emotional Rollercoaster. Your ride turned out to be wayyyy better than my one with Rose and Co. Congrats man!

Congrats to frogbs and the Bucks!

Great finals! Didn’t think the bucks had it in them but super saiyan giannis makes up for a lot.

i'm sad that the Suns didn't get theirs simultaneously, wish they didn't have to play *each other* per se, but it's a tremendous feeling when a 50-year drought is ended, especially in a smaller-market town that's more used to football success in recent years, on the back of a young thriving Greek superstar.

loved the story I read about young Giannis, fresh off of being drafted 15th, walking into the arena and pointing at the retired jerseys of Kareem/Oscar Robertson and saying "maybe in 15-20 years, my name will be up there".

have a preeeetty strong feeling it will be after last night.

theyll retire him, khris, and probably jrue at this rate

Btw the main roads & highways were spookily empty during rush hour this morning, I assume everyone took the morning off or called in sick.

theyll retire him, khris, and probably jrue at this rate

This is Brook Lopez erasure

Kidding not kidding, there are so many great stories in this run but as a major Lopez stan I think Brook stepping up to be the big man and score 33 in that critical game 5 against the Hawks should not be forgotten, there were a lot of people who really thought the series was over without Giannis

he's had a great run with the bucks, had moments of looking washed this season but really cool how he reinvented his game to contribute
