Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo never ceases to amaze basketball fans. With a rare combination of height, length, speed, athleticism, and Randy Moss-like sure-handedness, Antetokounmpo left Bucks fans’ jaws on the floor once again Friday night with this insane fastbreak catch and finish against the Toronto Raptors at home.

Matthew Dellavedova did not exactly throw a pinpoint pass right there, but knowing that Antetokounmpo was galloping downcourt, Delly was sure his pass was going to be caught anyway.
It was a tough catch to say the least for the Bucks star with Raptors guard Kyle Lowry obstructing his path, though there was no way Lowry could have stopped The Greek Freak on that play unless he had a hammer to hit Giannis.
The Green Bay Packers would have been preparing for the NFL Playoffs today and not sitting on their couches at home if Aaron Rodgers/Brett Hundley had Giannis Antetokounmpo as a downfield target.
Despite having an alien on their team in Antetokounmpo, the Bucks lost to the Raptors, 129-110. It’s the Bucks’ second loss in three games, and they will aim for a return to the win column this Saturday against the Washington Wizards.
On the season, Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game.
We could see more crazy plays from Antetokounmpo as he tries to carry the Bucks into another playoff appearance this season. The 23-year-old do-it-all forward is also leading the Eastern Conference in All-Star votes, and if he keeps on manufacturing highlight reel-worthy plays, he would likely keep his place as the top vote-getter the rest of the way.
