Giannis Antetokounmpo does not need to win Game 7 against the Boston Celtics. He has already proven himself to be a match winner for the Milwaukee Bucks. But, if he wins that game, it can open doors to a legacy few could achieve in the NBA. Of course, seeing the trends that are taking place in this series, the Bucks should be the favorites. No Home Team has been able to press their advantage onto the opponents. But who knows what TD Garden looks like come Game 7?

Giannis will still feel the pressure to win this series. He is the reigning Finals MVP for a Bucks Team who are the reigning NBA champions. Giannis has not crumbled yet. Scoring 44 in the playoffs is not struggling. But the team will depend on him to get that many points next game too. Without that, the Bucks might just get eliminated.

Giannis will know how big the stakes are in this match. Last game, even though, he had one of the best performances of his career. But it came to nothing as his team couldn’t support him well enough. After the heroics in Game 5, Jrue Holiday was again not doing well enough. The selection of George Hill was baffling. Jayson Tatum did not hesitate to rinse him.
