Giannis Antetokounmpo erases P.J. Tucker with block

Giannis Antetokounmpo absolutely erased P.J. Tucker with a devastating block Thursday night.

In the Milwaukee Bucks’ Saturday matchup with the Toronto Raptors, Giannis Antetokounmpo attacked P.J. Tucker with such aggression, Tucker had no idea what was about to hit him. Literally.

Giannis pounced on Tucker after he tried to go up for a dunk. Thinking that he had no one around him, Tucker jumped lightly up towards the rim and tried to put up a nice and easy layup. And then Antetokounmpo happened.

Nothing is nice and easy when Giannis is on defense. After the absolutely murderous block, Giannis gave Tucker the good ol’ mean mug.

Now, the mean mug is not used for just any old occasion. The mean mug is used for special cases when the best things on the court happen. Let’s say a player drains a game-winning three right over an opponent. That is an appropriate time to use the mean mug.

The mean mug is an art that can be used in the wrong way, though. For example, any of the times Dion Waiters has attempted his mean mug.

Tucker did not really know what even happened as he came up from the swat looking very confused.

The Bucks ended up winning this game 101-94 over the Raptors, with help from their three young guys: Malcolm Brogdon, Khris Middleton and Giannis.

Giannis had 24 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Middleton, who is finding himself after a terrible injury that kept him out for most of the season, scored 24 points and grabbed three rebounds. Brogdon, the young rookie out of Virginia University, is making a name for himself and proving his worth to head coach Jason Kidd, scored 17 points, snagged five rebounds, and racked up three assists.

The Toronto Raptorsm on the other hand, seem to be struggling without All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry, who is out for an extended period of time because of a surgery on his wrist.
