With Fans Pushing For ‘Giannis Antetkounmpo to Warriors’, Looking Back at Bucks Star’s ‘Plow Through Wall’ Speech

The Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks are putting on a show here. Even without their star, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s crew has performed beyond admirable, trying to keep their championship hopes alive. And of course, Jimmy Butler and his team have functioned as the worst kind of stopgaps they could have possibly imagined.

At this current stage, Miami leads this series 2-1. However, with the Greek Freak back for game 4, you’d expect for Milwaukee to be a bit stouter on both ends. And sure, while there is some of that, it appears that this Butler has no master. So, he decided it was fine to blow his load all over another grown man. Let’s dive right in, shall we?

 

Jimmy Butler dunks all over Giannis Antetokounmpo during must-win game for the Milwaukee Bucks

Okay, we will admit that there was no need to make it sound as suspect as we just made it right there. But, where’s the fun in that?

Getting back on topic here, Jimmy Butler is a very good player, elite even in the playoffs. However, his bounce isn’t the kind that would allow him to dunk on people very often, never mind doing it on the NBA’s best shot-blockers. And yet, apparently, when he saw Giannis Antetokounmpo coming his way, he thought that the man was a whole foot shorter than his 7-foot stature. And that kind of insane confidence led to this stupendous highlight.

Frankly, given both the players involved here, we doubt either one is thinking too much about this one. However, with the way this series is going, could it be a metaphor for how this series will end up going? Or will Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks move on to the next round instead? Only time will tell.

How did the NBA community react to this one?

NBA fans are a fickle bunch. There is never one thing they can ever settle on. And as you’d expect, this time was no different. Here are just a few of the reactions.

For some reason, some fans seem to think this is not a worthy highlight. However, the more we look at it, the more we can’t help but wonder where they are looking.
