Why do they show the obvious travel that wasn't called, but not the beautiful behind the back touch pass that Sanders missed the layup on? Not to be picky because I appreciate whoever's taking the time to put together this video, but just because he doesn't get an assist doesn't mean the great pass wasn't a highlight.

Unless they do only one team exclusively, highlight makers usually don't have time to watch entire games. Personally I just follow whatever the box score says. And I look for times before and after timeouts where they show replays. But that's it.

It's really too bad that Bucks players hardly ever have highlight-worthy performances.

I'm glad they showed the obvious travel. It's nice to have a player that can blatantly travel and not have it be called.

Thanks, great answer, I didn't know that's how it's done but that makes sense. I had figured it was a Bucks fan who watched the entire game.

The fast break sizzle starting @ 0:41 is just fabulous

The drive and dunk starting @ 0:53 is just simply impossible. How did he dunk that?

There seems to be a palpable buzz in the building every time Giannis leads the break. I'm guessing that will only grow as time passes.

After seeing some of these dunks, I think "Stretch" would be a good nickname.

2) Watched Giannis Antetokounmpo for the first time in person Saturday night. Dude looks like a good, good piece to build around. He just turned 19 (!) and he's long as your grandpa's stories on a hot summer day. Hands like Velcro, and he jumps like crazy. Man, what an athletic young man, and he doesn't play like someone who has no clue about the pro game. He's just skinny. But he'll put on weight. That's an intriguing young man Milwaukee's got.

The nice thing about Giannis' potential is that he is like another famous Greek, Homer's Odysseus — πολυμήχανος, man of many wiles.

Suppose, for the sake of argument, Giannis is the next NBA player to record a quadruple double. It's hard to know whether he would fill it out with blocks or steals. Or both.

This is why he reminds me most of a Kirilenko type from 5+ years ago... 5x5 potential is definitely there in any game.

I'm not sure if he's saying it'll continue or it should stop.

Use NBA.com instead.

The numbers are actually:

101.9 offensively on
92.1 offensively off
103.3 defensively on
105.7 defensively off
