The Milwaukee Bucks finally did it.
Fifty years after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson led the Bucks to the franchise’s first championship in 1971, just the team’s third season of existence, the Bucks have won their second NBA title. In doing so, Giannis Antetokounmpo proved all the naysayers wrong and showed that he could bring a championship to the team that drafted him — and the small midwestern city that embraced him — from that moment on June 27, 2013.
And in his first NBA Finals, Antetokounmpo delivered more than anyone could have ever expected.
In Game 6, with the Bucks one win away from securing an NBA title, Antetokounmpo played a game for the ages and put up 50 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, and five blocks in 42 minutes.
