Nic Claxton fears no man. The Brooklyn Nets big man proved that again during their tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks and former Defensive Player of the Year Giannis Antetokounmpo.

With the Greek Freak lurking on the baseline, Claxton was streaking down the middle as he caught a pass from Nets teammate Kevin Durant. Instead of backing down, he put Giannis on a highlight reel for years to come.

This isn't the first time Nic Claxton took a superstar for a ride near the rim. During the Nets' Christmas Day clash against the Los Angeles Lakers, he did the exact same thing to a certain LeBron James.

Nic Claxton dunk package aside, the Nets just did not have enough juice against the defending champion Bucks as they fell, 121-109.

Kevin Durant and James Harden poured in 29 points and 16 points respectively, each tallying nine rebounds and seven assists. Claxton himself had a good game as he was Brooklyn's third leading scoring with 14 on the night.

But it was Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks who flexed their collective muscles on Friday night. The 2-time MVP led all scorers with 31 points while Bobby Portis and Khris Middleton flanked him for a combined 45 points.

The Nets-Bucks matchup is arguably the most exciting in the Eastern Conference with two of the best players this generation has seen going head to head. The Bucks won this battle, but the war may very well continue into the postseason.
