I could wake up to the news of Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo dunking from the 3-point line and I still would not be surprised. It’s all his fault though. Antetokounmpo has set the bar too high for himself with all the absurd feats he regularly does on the basketball court that it has become customary for us to expect he’ll pull off another.
And in tonight’s episode of What Mind-Bending Stuff Would Giannis Do?, the Bucks' lanky forward displayed his insane athleticism and crazier reach by blocking two consecutive shots from the Detroit Pistons.
Giannis Antetokounmpo initially blocked a layup attempt from Pistons guard Ish Smith. Detroit got the rebound and swiftly swung the ball around before Smith made another stab at beating Antetokounmpo at the rim, but the Greek Freak just wouldn’t have any of it, sending Smith’s shot back to the old Palace Of Auburn Hills.

Giannis Antetokounmpo stands seven-feet tall and has 7'4″ wingspan so yeah, erasing shots isn’t that too tall of a task for him. On the season, Antetokounmpo is averaging 1.8 blocks per game, though, there’s more goodies that he brings to the table besides rim protection. The 22-year-old forward is among the early favorites to win this season’s MVP award, as he is putting up impressive numbers of 31.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per contest.
