When it comes to absolutely mind-blowing athleticism on an NBA court, look no further than Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo when he dunks a basketball.
On Saturday night on the road against the Houston Rockets, the Greek Freak pulled off one of the more impressive dunks of the 2017-18 season early in the first quarter. After he stole the ball near half court from Rockets star Chris Paul, Giannis Antetokounmpo managed to get control of the ball and dribbled only once before a ferocious one-handed slam dunk.
In a video posted on Twitter to the Milwaukee Bucks' official account, the dunk can be viewed in all of its glory below.
There might be some of you who may think that this was a travel by the Bucks star, which is understandable when the video is viewed at full speed just once. However, if you slow down the footage or watch it a few times, this was clearly a legal move and it was right for the refs to allow the play to continue. Besides, it wasn't the first time Giannis Antetokounmpo pulled off the mind-blowing move.
Heading into Saturday night's contest against the team with the NBA's best record in the Rockets, Antetokounmpo was averaging a whopping 29.9 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocked shots per game in 26 starts this season.
