Milwaukee Bucks forward and two-time NBA MVP Giannis "The Greek Freak" Antetokounmpo capped off a glorious season when he led his Bucks to the NBA title, the first for the franchise since 1971 when they were led by Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Gianni’s 50 points against the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 of the NBA Finals was the perfect exclamation point to his first career title.
