Milwaukee Bucks put an end to the series at game 6. Beating Phoenix Suns, Bucks win 105-98. Now, Bucks are 2021 NBA World Campions and earned their respective rings. Champions: a title they haven’t had since 1971.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Is staying in Milwaukee, after putting up 50 pts
Nigerian Athlete, Giannis has plenty to smile about as both his team and he were successful. In Game 6, Giannis scored 50 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks. Additionally, his 50 point total ties with Hall of Famer Bob Pettit’s record as the highest points earned in a closeout game. There is no doubt that Giannis helped Milwaukee get that 105-98 victory over Phoenix. As 33 of those points came from an energized second half to ensure the victory by attacking the rim.
In regards to pulling a LeBron and leaving for a Super team, Giannis says,
“This city belongs to me. They trust me…believe in me…believe in us… Obviously, I wanted to accomplish the task. But that’s my stubborn nature. It’s simple to go elsewhere and win a championship with someone else.” It’s easy… I could join a super team, play my part, and win a championship. But this is the hard way, and this is the way to do it, and we did it. We f—ing did it.
Giannis: Dedicating success to his loved ones
Then, emotional, he reflected on his reasons for getting to this championship and who he dedicates his success to.
“This is for my mom. She works so hard every day for me to be here, and she never pushed me to do anything else. This is for my dad. He’s watching from above, and he can see it. This is for my partner. Every day, they help me grow as a person.”
On his Struggles with making free throws
Giannis Antetokounmpo like Ben Simmons struggled with making his free throws. Yet, unlike Ben, he focused on doing better and points to it as something to be proud. “I made my free throws tonight and I’m a freaking champion.” Maybe, Ben should take some notes.
