The Greek Freak threw down a huge dunk on top of Nene

The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the trendiest teams in the NBA at the start of the 2015-16 NBA season with many people projecting that their young core will take a huge step forward and have the team entrenched in the Eastern Conference postseason picture. A big part of that is the hope of another year of progression and a foray into stardom for The Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo. If you ask Nene, he might already be there.

As the Bucks took on the Washington Wizards on Friday night, Antetokounmpo made a strong cut on the baseline from the weak side and got fed a nice pass off of beautiful ball-movement. That left the young forward with an attacking mind heading towards the rim. Nene should have realized that means just get out of the way if you’re on the defensive end:

Whether it’s just his shear length or the fact that he’s so aggressive at the rim, Giannis dunking will never be unimpressive. If it happens to be over an opposing big man, well that just increases the level of difficulty.

That dunk wasn’t Antetokounmpo’s sole achievement in the first half as The Greek Freak dominated the first 24 minutes of action. He finished the first half with 23 points, just six points shy of his career high with another full half to play. It’s safe to say that the young Bucks forward is having a nice night at the office.
