The Milwaukee Bucks star showed on Tuesday why he is called the 'Greek Freak', executing a play against the New York Knicks in the NBA In-Season Tournament that is simply hard to believe.

He needed just one dribble from beyond half-court to score a fast break dunk.

Yes, you read that right. Here’s a video to prove that statement is true:

He skipped past Julius Randle while gathering the ball and found himself in open space.

Giannis going for a dunk after that was a foregone conclusion. What made this play so incredible was that he needed just one dribble to get from that part of the court to Milwaukee’s rim for the easy jam.

Bucks ease past Knicks

The Bucks advanced to the semis of the NBA In-Season Tournament with ease, beating the Knicks 146-122.

Antetokounmpo starred for Milwaukee in the rout, nearly recording a triple-double with 35 points, 10 assists, and eight rebounds, per ESPN.

Four other players scored in double figures for the Bucks, who recorded their highest point total this season.

Damian Lillard scored 28 points and dished out seven assists. He shot 8 of 13 from the field, including 5 of 7 from beyond the arc.

Malik Beasley and Khris Middleton added 18 and 14 points, respectively. Bobby Portis provided the firepower off the bench, scoring 13 points.
