Giannis Antetokounmpo who proudly wears number 34 for Milwaukee helped the Bucks win the 2021 Championship. It is Milwaukee’s first championship since 1971 when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson starred.

Antetokounmpo was injured before the finals and overcame that obstacle where he later lead the team to victory making it the Bucks first title in 5 decades. 

Antetokounmpo was the No. 15 pick in the 2013 draft and has not only won the NBA Championship but the Finals MVP. Rightfully so, he has been an outstanding player since joining the Bucks. He wasn’t the star player when first drafted but he grew over time and earned his title. 

Although Giannis Antetokounmpo is praised for his amazing skills, he wouldn’t have done it without the help of his teammates. No one expected the Bucks to win with them coming off a loss of their first 2 games with the Phoenix Suns.

The Bucks had the lead in the beginning but later on the Suns took the lead. The Bucks made sure not to let the Suns have a huge lead so they regrouped and came out on top. 

The Bucks defeated the Phoenix Suns 105-98 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday evening. 

Antetokounmpo secured 50 points, making him the 7th player to do so in NBA Finals history. He also had 5 blocks as he was intense on both ends of the floor.

Antetokounmpo will now remember this championship as one of his most important games of his career.
