His monster performance has left everyone in awe as his team also won 128-119. His team is at the top seed for the Eastern Conference (21-8), and Giannis’ game can also be classified as top-class.
In the second quarter of the game, MarJon Beauchamp was seen driving the ball to the basket. Beauchamp attempted to shoot the ball, but cue a charging Giannis. He leaped from the court and made sure that the basket was made. “He effortlessly cleared a 6ft+ human“, one netizen wrote. The crowd erupted with his “nasty” move.

His jump over his opponent was possibly a repeat of his iconic dunk over New York Knicks Tim Hardaway Jr. In a similar setup, he jumped over a 6’6″ player and cleaned him out.
