Giannis Antetokounmpo is a freak. We know this. He’s a 6’11” small forward with a wingspan that’s out of this world.

That incredible wingspan was on display Monday night in Game 2 of the Bucks’ first round series vs. the Bulls,  as Antetokounmpo swatted Pau Gasol in the first quarter.

Take a look at the great block below:

It’s not too often you see a small forward casually block Pau Gasol. But, as we’ve gone over, Antetokounmpo is not your average player. He’s one of the most promising young players in the league these days thanks to play like these.

Antetokounmpo and the Bucks dropped Game 1 to the Bulls on Saturday, making Monday’s game nearly a must-win for them. The Greek Freak is off to a solid start, but he’ll surely have to keep it going all game if they want to even the series up.

Antetokounmpo averaged 12.7 points (49.1 percent shooting from the field), 6.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game during the regular season. He scored 12 points (4-of-13 shooting from the field) with five rebounds and four assists in Game 1 against the Bulls.
