NBA Finals 2021: The Milwaukee Bucks didn't waste another legendary performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo

MILWAUKEE -- It's easy to forget that as recently as six days ago, Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was questionable to take the court for Game 1 of the NBA Finals. A journey of more than two decades that started in the humble Athens neighborhood of Sepolia and arrived on the doorstep of an NBA title was potentially stalled, due to a hyperextension of his left knee.

Antetokounmpo ultimately played in Game 1 of the Finals against the Phoenix Suns, and less than one week later, that injury is undetectable. Antetokounmpo continued his rampage through the most important games of his life, as he eviscerated the Suns' defense for 41 points.
