There is no question that Game 5 was one of the most exciting Finals games we’ve seen. The game went back and forth from in the Phoenix Suns arena, but in the end, it was the Milwaukee Bucks who snatched the win. The Phoenix Suns had a solid shooting night as a team, but even with Devin Booker putting up 40 points, they were not able to beat the Milwaukee Bucks.
One of the moments that will be etched into many people’s memories is Giannis Antetokounmpo finishing a clutch alley-oop off a pass from Jrue Holiday. Holiday threw the pass out of the reach of anyone but Antetokounmpo, ensuring that his teammate was the only one that could finish it. However, despite throwing it that high, it seems as though he was never worried about connecting with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
All respect to Jrue Holiday for the steal. Giannis for the finish.
Crazy way to end the game. (via @bucks) https://t.co/qEQAR2Cwbb

Was Jrue Holiday worried the pass for Giannis’ clutch alley-oop was too high?
“Nah. They don’t call him The Freak for nothing.”

It is clear that Giannis Antetokounmpo is capable of impressive physical feats. Those physical feats happen on both ends: we’ve seen an insane block on Deandre Ayton in Game 4, and this amazing clutch alley-oop finish in Game 5. Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most athletic players in the league, and hopefully, we’ll continue to see even more iconic highlights in the future.
