Giannis Antetokounmpo threw himself an alley-oop off the backboard and NBA fans were in awe

The Milwaukee Bucks may be without Kris Middleton for their second-round series against the Boston Celtics but you know who they still have in the lineup? Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is really, really, really good at basketball.

The two-time MVP was a force in Sunday’s Game 1 in Boston. He finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds in leading the Bucks to a big 101-89 win to take a 1-0 series lead.

He saved his best play for late in the fourth quarter when he threw the ball off his own backboard and then threw it down for a huge dunk on a self alley-oop that had everyone in awe.
