Giannis Leads the Bucks to Their First NBA Title Since 1971
The Milwaukee Bucks, powered by a masterpiece from Greek forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, captured the franchise's first NBA championship in 50 years with a 105-98 win over the visiting Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.

With the victory, the Bucks obtained the NBA Finals 4-2 and became only the 5th team to win the best-of-seven championship series after losing the first two games.
Antetokounmpo was named most valuable player of the series after scoring a playoff career-high 50 points in the winning game that will surely relieve the Bucks' recent history of postseason failure.
"I'm so blessed to work with Giannis every day," Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said during an on-court interview.
"He's a special human being, he's an even more amazing human being than he is a player. I've learned so much from him and his leadership."
Unlike last year's NBA Finals when the celebratory screams of the Los Angeles Lakers echoed across an arena empty of fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bucks' win kicked off a wild party for both a capacity crowd of 17,000 inside and the 65,000 supporters who attended a watch party outside the arena.
