Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are having an average season by their standards. They are currently in the fifth spot in the West with a record of 30-20. The Bucks have had some signature wins against the best teams in the league, but they have lost to smaller teams. However, they know they can turn on the switch at any time as they look to defend their title.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is still looking like the best player in the league and he looks to hang on to that title. The two-time MVP got his first chip last year, and he capped it off with a 50 point performance in the finals. Giannis is averaging 28.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 6 assists on 53.1% percent in the field. He is arguably the best two-way player in the league and is one of the best shot blockers.

When you are a fierce shot blocker, most of the time you get spectacular blocks, but sometimes you will be at the receiving end of some dunks. And for Giannis, that was the case on Wednesday. The Bucks took on the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena. The Bucks lost the game 115-99 as they fell to their 20th defeat of the season. But the highlight of the game occurred in the second quarter.

Darius Garland had the ball and penetrated inside against Jrue Holiday. When he was shut off, he saw a cutting Evan Mobley and passed it to him. Mobley went up both hands and Giannis, who was on the weakside, tried to send it back. But he was too late as Mobley threw it down and got an and-one opportunity. This was one of the best plays on his young career as he slammed it over a two-time MVP.
