2019 NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is used to dunking on people. and with a 7-foot-3 wingspan and elite athleticism, he does it pretty often. However, in the Bucks matchup against the Detroit Pistons, the Greek Freak was given a taste of his own medicine. With roughly six minutes left in the first quarter, Pistons guard Langston Galloway would find Tony Snell open in the corner. Snell rose for the shot but instead dished it off to Andre Drummond in the middle who would throw it down on top of Antetokounmpo as well as Bucks seven-footer Robin Lopez.

The Pistons have struggled to start the 2019-2020 and currently sit with an 8-13 record. However, Detroit also only sits a game and a half behind Orlando for the eight seed in the Eastern Conference.
Despite the team's struggles, Drummond is dominating in his eighth NBA season. The 6-foot-10, 279-pound big man is averaging 17.0 points and a league-leading 16.9 rebounds per game to go along with 3.1 assists and 1.9 blocks.
The Pistons drafted Drummond No. 9 overall in 2012 as a raw, physical big man out of UConn. Since them, Drummond has transformed into one of the best centers in the league and an absolute menace on the boards leading the NBA in the category in three of the last four years.
If the season were to end today, Drummond's 16.9 rebounds per game would be the highest mark since Dennis Rodman grabbed 18.3 boards per game for the Pistons in the 1992-93 season.
With Drummond's frontcourt mate Blake Griffin just recently returning from injury, Detroit is one step closer to being at full strength
