After losing to the Toronto Raptors in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals, Milwaukee Bucks superstar swingman Giannis Antetokounmpo says he learned “what it takes to win games” in the playoffs.
The Bucks won the first two games of the series, but lost four in a row after that. Antetokounmpo vows to use this series as a learning experience to get better:
"I see what it takes to win games. I take pride in getting better, and it's something that I learned in this series."

Antetokounmpo should hold his head high. He led the Bucks to the best record in the NBA and is one of the top players in the league. He's only going to get better from here and that's a scary thing to imagine since The Greek Freak is already a dominant force without a reliable jump shot.
Once Giannis develops that outside game, he will become the best player in the NBA.
During the regular season, Giannis averaged 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game while shooting 57.8 percent from the floor and 72.9 percent from the free-throw line. The Bucks won 60 games. In the playoffs, Antetokounmpo put up 25.5 points, 12.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists. The Raptors, led by Kawhi Leonard, did a good job of throwing multiple bodies on Giannis and making him play in a crowd at every turn.
Everyone can't wait to see what type of player Antetokounmpo becomes next season.
