Giannis Antetokounmpo just pulled off one of the most amazing game-sealing blocks you’ll ever see…again

Giannis Antetokounmpo

There’s just not a basketball court Giannis Antetokounmpo can step on right now where he’s not absolutely and unequivocally the best athlete on it.

This dude is unreal. We’ve seen it so many times before, whether it was his impossible block on Deandre Ayton in the 2020 NBA Finals or his self-oop against the Celtics in last year’s playoffs or literally anything else this dude has done. He just casually does things no one should be able to do.

He did it again on Friday during Greece’s Eurobasket matchup against Croatia.

With Greece up 86-82 in the waning seconds of the game, the ball was kicked out to the corner in transition for what looked like an easy 3-pointer.

Then, all of a sudden, this 6’11 figure comes from underneath the basket on the other side of the court to get a fingertip on the shot. Look at this, man.

Y’all. This is ridiculous. It’s lunacy. This should not be something that is able to happen. Giannis should not be able to do these things.

He started from right here.

He blocked the shot right here.

How is that real? It’s just wild. Fans were rightfully in awe of this. The athleticism here is ridiculous.
