Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to give it everything he has to potentially win a championship

This game against the Brooklyn Nets proved that Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to win and he wants to win badly. Giannis scored a season-high 49 points, but he has been doing this against the best of the best all season long.

He dropped 34 points against Brooklyn earlier in the year, 35 against the Jazz, 47 against the Suns, 32 against the 76ers and now 49 against the Nets. 

Against the best teams in the league, Giannis is giving it his all and he is not only trying to prove he is the best player in the league, but that he is going to do everything he can do to deliver a championship to Milwaukee. 

Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday will have to play huge roles as well for the Bucks to be successful in the postseason, but everything hinders on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s ability to carry this team and step up when it matters most.
