Giannis Antetokounmpo wasted no time making an early dunk-of-the-year bid, posterizing Bulls center Nikola Vucevic in just his second game during the Milwaukee Bucks’ home opener on Friday night.
Midway through the second quarter, Chicago’s Ayo Dosunmu attempted to save the ball from going out of bounds but passed it to Milwaukee’s Delon Wright, who drove straight to the lane, challenging Vucevic, a two-time All-Star.
Rather than taking the layup, Wright spotted Antetokounmpo charging in and passed him the ball, setting up a stunning Statue of Liberty-style dunk. Vucevic attempted to contest but reacted too late, unable to even get off the ground as Antetokounmpo completed the play and drew a foul.
