There’s really not much you can do when a freight train like Giannis Antetokounmpo is coming towards you with a full head of steam.

The Minnesota Timberwolves defensive line looked helpless on Monday night, as the Milwaukee Bucks forward came barreling down the lane and threw a one-handed hammer in the third quarter of their match at the Target Center.

Antetokounmpo corralled a Gorgui Dieng miss on the other and went coast-to-coast for the highlight. The reigning NBA MVP got to the rim without much resistance, as he only took two long strides to evade the defense and finish hard at the cup.

“The Greek Freak” is still posting some MVP-like numbers in his seventh NBA season, tallying 26.7 points on 59 percent shooting from the field, to go along with 13.8 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.8 blocks in six games for the Bucks.
