Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is also known as The Greek Freak because of his sheer athleticism and for the jaw-dropping plays he pulls off during games. On Sunday, Jarrett Allen found out for himself the hard way why he has earned that nickname.
With 10:18 left in the third quarter, Antetokounmpo slid past his defender and saw Allen being the only one left between him and the rim. He soared high to the hoop and threw down a vicious dunk, posterizing the Brooklyn Nets big man in the process. That left the crowd inside Barclays Center in awe of what he did and they felt for their own player being the victim of his nasty slam.

Antekounmpo finished the game with 16 points, eight rebounds, and four assists to become one of five Bucks players to record double-digit scoring outputs to help them get the easy road victory, 109-94. Eric Bledsoe led the way with 28 points, four rebounds, and six assists. It was their sixth win in their last seven outings and they have now moved up to fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a 29-23 win-loss slate.
The Nets, on the other hand, saw DeMarre Caroll and Caris LeVert score 15 points each, while Allen had 14 points and seven rebounds, but their efforts were not enough to topple the Bucks. It was the Nets' sixth loss out of the last seven games, and they continue to be one of the bottom teams in the East, currently in 12th place with a 19-35 record.
