When Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is determined to get to the rim, there's not many who can stop him — Dwight Howard knows that all too well after Friday's game.

The Los Angeles Lakers center was a victim of an elite blend of size, strength, athleticism and finesse when Antetokoumpo drove on him with ease, hit him with a spin move and finished the play off with a one-handed slam.

One season after winning the league's MVP award, the Greek Freak has seemingly taken his game to a whole new level. In 56 games for the Bucks this season, the 25-year-old forward is averaging 29.6 points, 13.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.0 block per game while shooting 54.8 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from deep.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo possibly poised to win his second-straight MVP award, the tantalizing talent has Milwaukee primed for a run at their first championship appearance since 1974.

At 53-9, the Bucks not only sit atop the Eastern Conference standings, but they also own the best record in the entire NBA.
