The Milwaukee Bucks responded in a huge way in Game 3of the NBA Finals and crushed the Phoenix Suns 120-100. Milwaukee used another masterful outing from Giannis Antetokounmpo, who once again dropped 40 points for the second straight game. TV personality and former NBA player Kendrick Perkins jumped of First Take and made a bold claim about the Bucks' two-time MVP after the game.
"Giannis is the most dominant player in the NBA"

But wait, previously Perkins had said that Antetokounmpo was the Robin to the Batman that is Khris Middleton. Now it appears he is backing up on the previous comments, and rightfully so after the Bucks star has gone ballistic in the past two games.
What got into Perkins? Or is just finally realizing the Antetokounmpo is the train that is at the front of the Bucks' tracks?
Either way, Antetokounmpo has been marvelous all Finals long and found a way to dominate inside the paint and completely frustrate the Suns and head coach Monty Williams, who himself had a brutally honest response to the Game 3 drubbing.
Suddenly the Suns are down 2-1 instead of being up by a commanding 3-0 margin and Game 4 is set for Wednesday night, once again in front of a wild, energetic Milwaukee crowd. Can the Bucks go back to Phoenix tied?
Regardless, Giannis Antetokounmpo is surely silencing Perkins' earlier comments.
