I feel like we haven't seen much of these types of plays lately, or is that just me?

Maybe I'm not giving enough credit to Giannis for how tough it is, but I'm honestly surprised it isn't used more. It's like a controlled air all where it completely catches the d off guard

A man of Giannis' size and athleticism, he really should spam this shot; he could get it anytime he wants and not many teams will have the personnel to stop it, especially when the Bucks have two of the best box out guys in the NBA playing alongside. Lopez being one of the best box out bigs in history. This could really be a legitimate game breaking cheat code type move with those guys boxing out.

This is at least the third time Giannis has done it this season and every time it's awesome.

Too many moving parts for it to be a goto move. It's simpler to just make the shot attempt the first time.

This was my go to move in 21.

Because I couldn't shoot that well.

And I couldn't dunk so it was just a layup.

I remember lebron doing it in the finals other than that it’s usually all star game. Can think of a Kobe and tmac one but I think they were in the all start game.
