If you don't box out Milwaukee Bucks superstar swingman Giannis Antetokounmpo, there's a high chance he's going to embarrass you, and that's exactly what happened Friday night against the Chicago Bulls.
Antetokounmpo is called The Greek Freak for a reason now. He's got freakishly long arms that allow him to do things that most players can't.
After Bucks small forward Khris Middleton missed a three-pointer from the left wing, Giannis Antetokounmpo casually dunked it back home with his right hand, bringing the crowd in Milwaukee to their feet.

Poor Justin Holiday. The Bulls guard is probably asking himself, ‘Why am I trying to box out this guy when we have a big man who can give a better effort.'
Giannis Antetokounmpo entered Friday putting up monster numbers. The two-time All-Star was averaging 25.8 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists and shooting 56.0 percent from the field and 69.2 percent from the free-throw line.
Under head coach Mike Budenholzer, the Bucks' offense is more fluid. There's more ball movement and off-ball screens. Antetokounmpo is scoring easier this season and he still doesn't have a three-point shot yet. Whenever Giannis develops a shot from distance, he can arguably be the best player in the NBA.
The Bucks beat the Bulls on Friday, erasing a 22-point deficit.
