Just when we thought Giannis Antetokounmpo couldn't wow us anymore. We've grown accustomed to the Milwaukee Bucks star's physical feats of nature, such as jumping over a player. We became desensitized to the Greek Freak so much that we thought nothing could faze us anymore.
And then… he does THIS. Against the Brooklyn Nets, the Bucks star was recorded taking only two dribbles en route to a thundering dunk. Just… look at this masterpiece. (via NBA on Twitter)
Two dribbles. 🤯

We're not sure what's more impressive: that Giannis can reach a top speed of 16.5 with his huge size, or that the Bucks star took his two dribbles before even reaching the three-point arc. It looks like it's a travelling violation but it's not. Giannis' long limbs allow him to cover so much ground in the open court it's not even funny.
The Bucks had a slow start to their title defense season. Injuries, COVID, and some fatigue from two of their stars playing in the Olympics contributed to a sub-.500 effort to start the year. However, with most of the lineup starting to come back, the defending champions recaptured their form. They now hold the third place in the surprisingly competitive Eastern Conference after their win over the Nets.
As always, Milwaukee can thank Giannis Antetokounmpo for his massive efforts. He's been as reliable as ever for the Bucks, as they look to repeat as NBA champions this season. If the Greek Freak continues to do freakish stuff like this, they might just defend their title and then some.
