Since he moved into the role of Milwaukee Bucks point guard shortly after the All-Star break, it has been hard to not notice Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo has been on almost nightly triple-double watch, threaded passes all over the floor and faked out players so bad they ran away from the ball, all while the Bucks started to resemble the team that they were expected to be this summer. Every once in a while though, Giannis move off ball and turns back into the energy player he had been for the early part of his career, and as LeBron James learned on Wednesday night, that player is still more than capable of making highlight reel worthy plays.

First of all, plays and reactions like this are why the Gus Johnson/Bucks marriage is so perfect. The “OHHHH” just accentuates the moment so perfectly.
Anyway, Giannis makes that look so incredibly easy, which it isn’t, and is able to generate so much power, which is also not easy. It is hard to see how you could lose track of a man as big as Giannis but somehow LeBron did and he probably won’t the rest of the night. Because that was a dunk you don’t forget easily.
