"Devin Booker has a killer will": Skip Bayless takes shots at Giannis, heaps praises of the Suns star owing to his performance in Game 2 of the NBA Finals

Undisputed analyst Skip Bayless calls Devin Booker a killer on the court and believes he will win Finals MVP.

The Phoenix Suns beat the Milwaukee Bucks 118-108 in Game Two of the NBA Finals, thus taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the series.

Suns guard Booker led the team in scoring as he put up 31-points. The 2x NBA All-Star shot 48.0% from the field and an impressive 58.3% from the 3-point line during Game Two.

While the Milwaukee Bucks lost the contest, Giannis Antetokounmpo had an impressive night scoring 42-points and 12 rebounds in Game Two. The Greek freak was an impressive 68.2% from the field.

There is no denying that Giannis is one of the most destructive forces we have seen in recent times, especially in the paint since Shaquille O’ Neal.

The former DPOY’s inability to shoot jump-shots and his inefficiency from the free-throw line is still a major cause of concern for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Devin Booker edges Giannis Antetokounmpo in Game Two of the NBA Finals with his incredible 3-point shooting

Booker, who has been relatively inefficient from the 3-point line during the 2020-21 regular season, made 7 out of his 12 three-pointers in Game Two of the NBA Finals. The 2x NBA All-Star was an impressive 58.3% from beyond the arc.

On the other hand, Giannis, who had an impressive 40-point double-double during Game Two, shot 20% from the 3-point line as he was 1-for-5 from beyond the arc.

The Greek freak continues to struggle from the free-throw line. The 2x MVP shot 61.1% from the free-throw line during Game Two.

Suns star Booker has shot an efficient 92.1% from the free-throw line during the 2021 NBA Playoffs. While the Greek Freak has shot a mere 55% from the foul line in the current playoffs.

Booker is averaging 27.2 PPG, 6.1 RPG, and 4.9 APG in the 2021 NBA playoffs so far on a 44.3% shooting from the field.

Analyst Skip Bayless believes Booker will be crowned the Finals MVP if the Phoenix Suns defeat the Milwaukee Bucks.

Giannis, who has over the year been accused of underperforming in the post-season, has silenced his critics with his performances in the 2021 NBA Playoffs, despite having an injury in the conference finals.

The Greek Freak is averaging 28.5 PPG and 12.9 RPG. However, his shooting continues to remain a cause of concern.

Game three of the NBA Finals takes place on Sunday at Milwaukee.
