On a cold night in Milwaukee on November 13th, Giannis Antetokounmpo reminded the world why he won 2 MVPs, an NBA championship, and is considered one of the greatest players of all time. Antetokounmpo delivered one of his best performances of his career, scoring 59 points on the Pistons, just short of his career high of 64. This performance was all the Bucks needed to remind the league that they are still one of the top teams in the league. From that point on the Bucks went 11-3 and won the NBA Cup, blowing out the talented Thunder in the championship. Giannis went on to win the NBA Cup MVP.
