This was the second game in a row where Giannis came in clutch for the Bucks. In fact, he has been doing that all season. But the block on Embiid in the last game, game-tying three-pointer, and two free throws have been the clear match winners in every sense of the term.

Giannis Antetokounmpo does it all!

Giannis might not have many weaknesses in his game but he is often credited with the fact that he can only dunk. His shooting prowess has been doubted quite a few times. Moreover, that doubt has not been majorly by only the fans.

Back in 2020, James Harden commented on Giannis being purely someone who dunks. He scored a massive game-tying three-pointer and two free throws to win the game against Harden?s former side to set the record straight.?

Harden had hit at him, commenting, ?I wish I could just run and be 7-feet and just dunk. Like that takes no skill at all.??

After the performance against the Nets, a 5 word comeback from Giannis was proof of the fact that Giannis is always aiming to be better in every aspect. He said, ?I can make a three.?

The fans absolutely loved it and tried to rub it in.
