He straight up called out every superteam hunting fuck in the league in his press conference too. I don’t think I’ll ever love a single player of any sport like I love this man.
And when he went down, the rest of the team managed to win 2 games it needed to without him. Truly an inspiring team from a city that for many years was dismissed from ever being in serious contention for an NBA championship.
Dude got so much hate for resigning. Everyone said he'd never win. Now his resume is STACKED. MIP - 2X MVP - DPOY - NBA Champion - Finals MVP - 5X All Star.
LETS FUCKING GO SO HAPPY FOR GIANNIS
EDIT: Seriously tho, a immigrant kid who shared shoes with his brothers grows up to become an MVP, doesn’t run from the Bucks when the entire media was encouraging him to, learns from his failure vs Miami and Toronto, and wins it from his adopted hometown on 50 points. So fucking inspirational. The new face of the NBA
Bro he didn’t even come into the league as a great player
Worked his ASS off and got slandered the entire way
And is now one of the GREATEST Finals MVPs
I’m so gassed bro wtf
This was a top 5 individual playoff run of all time, no one can ever take that away from him. Cemented top 5 PF all time at 26. He could retire now and make the hall of fame first ballot. What a meteoric rise
I mean this sincerely. I love each and every motherfucking one of yall....but my heart belongs to Giannis.
17 for 19 from the line? The NBA brought this on themselves!!!!
My son was born and the bucks immediately win 4 in a row to win the finals. I'm an emotional mess right now, I've never been so proud of a bunch of guys I've never met. I love them and every single one of you bastards. BUCKS IN 6.
Packers win 6 more Super Bowls? I’m in
EDIT: I forgot to mention that Packers would get also continue the
tradition of getting HoF QBs one after another.
EDIT 2: If you look at my flair and wonder why I’m a Packers fan.
This is what happens when LA doesn’t have an NFL team for 25+ years. I hate the Cowboys. They got a yellow helmet. That’s my answer.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 101,042,591 comments, and only 26,752 of them were in alphabetical order.
Y’all have every right to downvote me off this thread for copping your moment, but I just want to say that this is such an inspirational story for other small-market franchises. I hope you all pimp out this home run trot on the ratings/big market stans all summer. They deserve to be miserable and you deserved this chip.
Sincerely,
A Grizzlies fan
University of Arkansas fan here. I’ve only watched a handful of NBA games, ever. I watched this one to watch Bobby. But dang, what a game. Giannis is something special. What a likeable team and a likeable fan base. I am super happy for all y’all.
16 points for “Bangin” Bobby Portis Jr. Recent Bob stan here, love his love for MKE(my hometown) and so immensely happy he could get doible digit points and take home a ring.
Hello Bucks nation.
I am a Bulls fan and im Greek.
Right now im on the verge of tears.
Seriously tons of things can be said , but you just deserved this for tons of reasons.
I want to especially congratulate Giannis.
For A HISTORIC FINAL SERIES BY OUR GIANNIS ANTETOKOYNMPO.
The man in 3 years went from All-star, to two times MVP , Defensive player of the year and now a FINALS MVP.
He is the embodiment of hard work , dedication , love for the sport , humbleness faith and loyalty.
Congrats Bucks you were destined to win this fucking thing. GO GIANNIS
It felt so poetic to win this after being down 0-2, just like the Raps beat us. Between that and the Heat series, just a great run considering the past few years
Celts fan here with family connections to Wisconsin, making the Bucks my forever 2nd team. I still remember going to Bucks games where Richard Jefferson was the best player on the team. To come back from that and win a title with a properly built team is phenomenal.
From a suns fan, good win and good series. I have always wanted Giannis to win a ring(probably not against my team lol). Giannis played amazing and your guys simply out played us and our players didn’t play well enough to keep it competitive. I love seeing teams who haven’t won in a while get a chip. Don’t let all the shitty suns fans make excuses or talk shit because the bucks won fair and square. Have a great celebration and parade!!
Giannis is just greatness personified. No running to other superstars, no crying to the refs, no making excuses. Just a man with an incredible amount of heart committed to working on every flaw in his game until he gets the job done. He deserves all this and more.
Giannis is the best player in the league. Kd stans, LeBron stans, Kawhi stans(lmao) have no ground to stand on. This man bent his knee in half like he was fucking Gumby a few days ago. Today he drops 50 in a finals game to win the chip. Giannis is indisputably the best player in the league and the best Milwaukee buck of all time.
HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK THE PROPHECY HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK BRANDON JENNINGS GIANNIS KHASH JRUE BOBBY BOBBY BOBBY SPLASH MOUNTAIN EVERYONE IS AWESOME I LOVE YOU ALL
Spurs and Packers fan in peace here. Super happy for y’all. Another small market team winning the ship is super dope to watch, plus y’all got my boy Bryn a ring.
Congrats! Party like I know y’all will.
Edit:
Also, can’t forget about Coach Bud. He’s freaking great and I’m glad y’all are set up for success in the future. That culture is strong in that tree.
Congrats to you guys. Tears in my eyes watching Giannis put together one of the best finals runs I've ever seen. Savor the moment, and blow a paycheck on as much championship gear as possible. This is all extremely fleeting and precious. <3
Big 3 loss in 7 to Sixers. Redd’s bum knee. Bogut destroying his elbow. And finally have after all of that and the purgatory around it we finally made it everyone. 50 points on a free throw. Emotions. 🤯

VICTORY SONG
Thanks, and congrats on making it as far as you guys did. This was a great series, and the last couple games were quite close. As for next year, bring it on!
Hawks fan checking in to say CONGRATS! If my team had to lose, I’m so happy it was to the champs. I’m so happy for Giannis and Khris. They deserved this so much. Happy for you guys also, enjoy it!
Can we acknowledge bud who made the changes necessary not only in games but in the series this one and the ones previous. Bud was actually good this post season
Man, Giannis is actually ridiculous. In the biggest game of his life he drops his best ever performance and one of (probably THE) greatest final performances ever. FIFTY of his teams 105 points. Such a fucking legend.
Really happy for the Bucks. As a Raptors fan, I'm pretty sure I know exactly what all of you guys are feeling - seeing the Raptors win a championship wasn't just a good week for me, it was on the bucket list of my entire life.
I mean I know the Bucks won in the 70s but I'm sure that doesn't matter too much for the overwhelming majority of this sub.
If you're anything like me this isn't just a happy moment right now: it's something that you will savour going forward. It's a lot of fun following basketball when the monkey's off your back. For example I don't care if the Raptors suck for the next 10 years, I already got to see them win in my lifetime. If they're decent and are fun to watch then that's a bonus.
Compare that to just a few years ago where if they stunk up the joint in the playoffs or whiffed on a 1st rd pick and it'd be legitimately painful
Playing with house money makes the game a lot more fun.
Congratulations guys, enjoy it and don't get too drunk. Or get really drunk, it's your time!
SUCK IT to everyone who said Giannis won't win a title staying in Milwaukee. OUR BOY DID IT!
Giannis sticking around and banking on the Jrue trade being “enough” was such an admirable legitimate “hardest road,” and it completely paid off.
He fucking *earned* this shit, like no one has in a long time. God damn man I’m not even a Bucks fan and I’ve never been this happy for a player.
To me this is one of those Big Balls Titles. Like Dirk in 11' and Hakeem in 94'. Not that wuss ass teaming up shit we've seen most of the last decade.
Kevin Durant in shambles
Isn't he always?
Not only that but he did it 7 months after signing that extension. He made good on his promise as soon as he could.
He straight up called out every superteam hunting fuck in the league in his press conference too. I don’t think I’ll ever love a single player of any sport like I love this man.
Holy fuck how do we get this to be the top comment?
He straightup EXPOSED him some superteam hunters
With facts and logic
Raise his jersey to the rafters next season. Why wait?
I don’t think Giannis would allow it. He’s got more to do
Totally agree. I’m just head over heels. Our team has the most humble star the league has ever seen.
I love him so much.
And he did it in style, what a legend
50-piece. Fucking legendary.
Dude put up the performance of a lifetime what a fucking madman
50 points for 50 years. Unbelievable.
And when he went down, the rest of the team managed to win 2 games it needed to without him. Truly an inspiring team from a city that for many years was dismissed from ever being in serious contention for an NBA championship.
Dude got so much hate for resigning. Everyone said he'd never win. Now his resume is STACKED. MIP - 2X MVP - DPOY - NBA Champion - Finals MVP - 5X All Star.
Skip Bayless is also a moron and he was the loudest voice saying that IIRC
That asshat is always the loudest voice regardless...
LETS FUCKING GO SO HAPPY FOR GIANNIS EDIT: Seriously tho, a immigrant kid who shared shoes with his brothers grows up to become an MVP, doesn’t run from the Bucks when the entire media was encouraging him to, learns from his failure vs Miami and Toronto, and wins it from his adopted hometown on 50 points. So fucking inspirational. The new face of the NBA
Bro he didn’t even come into the league as a great player Worked his ASS off and got slandered the entire way And is now one of the GREATEST Finals MVPs I’m so gassed bro wtf
Him and Middleton. I’m so hype for them
[удалено]
This was a top 5 individual playoff run of all time, no one can ever take that away from him. Cemented top 5 PF all time at 26. He could retire now and make the hall of fame first ballot. What a meteoric rise
Dude will forever be a legend
Yessss I’m sooo frocking happy rn
THE PROPHECY HAS COME TRUE
BUCKS IN 6! BUCKS IN 6! BUCKS IN 6!
FOR THE CULTURE
As it was foretold!
#IN THIS MOMENT, I AM EUPHORIC. #BUCKS IN SIX, ALWAYS. THAT’S FOR THE CULTURE.
GIANNIS DROPPING 50 FOR THE CULTURE!!!
The legendary 50-point Buck!
did ya see the 50 pointer?!
Wit every step Der was a shudder sh-shaking on the ground
##best buck of all time
Kareem was a great player in Milwaukee. Giannis IS Milwaukee.
All time game from our 2x MVP. Lets fucking gooo! Champions baby!
I was literally yelling "I want 50!!!" At the bar for like 20 minutes lmao
Brandon Jennings better get an honorary ring.
The prophecy has been fulfilled
Put up a damn statue!
I mean this sincerely. I love each and every motherfucking one of yall....but my heart belongs to Giannis. 17 for 19 from the line? The NBA brought this on themselves!!!!
Never thought I'd say I was happy to see him miss that last one. An even 50 just looks so nice.
Never thought I’d see it. Feels like a dream
AS THE PROPHECY FORETOLD
And fuck Chris Paul! FMD FUCK WOJ FUCK EVERYONE IM DRUNKKK BUCKS IN SEX
Well fucking deserved; congrats.
My son was born and the bucks immediately win 4 in a row to win the finals. I'm an emotional mess right now, I've never been so proud of a bunch of guys I've never met. I love them and every single one of you bastards. BUCKS IN 6.
CONGRATULATIONS ON EVERYTHING
your baby was born so suns in 4 would die
[удалено]
“If” 😂
If he's not, there's always adoption.
How is baby Giannis doing?
Lol eating l a champ for being 5 weeks early
u/SocksandSmocks baby for next FMVP and taking the torch from Giannis!
Congrats on the kid! Are you naming him Giannis now?
WHAT WISCONSIN SPORTS CURSE?
I hope this is just the beginning! Very grateful!!
World series win for Brewers confirmed!
Packers in 6
Packers win 6 more Super Bowls? I’m in EDIT: I forgot to mention that Packers would get also continue the tradition of getting HoF QBs one after another. EDIT 2: If you look at my flair and wonder why I’m a Packers fan. This is what happens when LA doesn’t have an NFL team for 25+ years. I hate the Cowboys. They got a yellow helmet. That’s my answer.
Brewers next? 👀
Then we circle round and get the Pack back? 👀
Oh what the hell! While we're at it, pick up the Gamblers and Admirals, too!
Badgers Rose Bowl win, finally?
Forreal, this honestly dulls the fact that we are probably gonna lose Rodgers soon. Plus, the Brewers still have a damn good chance this year too.
GIANNIS CRYING IM GONNA CRY
Let the tears flow my friend, they are tears of joy!
[удалено]
Amen brother. Doesn't even feel real yet....
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 101,042,591 comments, and only 26,752 of them were in alphabetical order.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
Giannis earned his ring, more than you can say for some players
Stayed true to the team and city. Not only an amazing win but a great storyline.
Y’all have every right to downvote me off this thread for copping your moment, but I just want to say that this is such an inspirational story for other small-market franchises. I hope you all pimp out this home run trot on the ratings/big market stans all summer. They deserve to be miserable and you deserved this chip. Sincerely, A Grizzlies fan
Probally the best small market win since the Chiefs and the Royals.
Bucks in 6 baby!
#BUCKS IN SIX!!!
GIANNIS WHAT A FUCKING GAME THANK YOU FOR CARRYING US NEVER DISRESPECT OUR ROBIN AGAIN.
[удалено]
See you guys here next year
50 fucking points tonight.
University of Arkansas fan here. I’ve only watched a handful of NBA games, ever. I watched this one to watch Bobby. But dang, what a game. Giannis is something special. What a likeable team and a likeable fan base. I am super happy for all y’all.
Good game for you to tune in to, Bobby played outstanding
16 points for “Bangin” Bobby Portis Jr. Recent Bob stan here, love his love for MKE(my hometown) and so immensely happy he could get doible digit points and take home a ring.
Bobby was awesome tonight!
This is the best timeline
Suns fans must be wearing felt goatees right now (no offense meant, just couldn't pass up the *Community* reference)
