This playoff run changed the perception of Giannis. People Viewed him as a choker before 2021, and now everyone view him as an all time great, and one of the best players in the world. An all-time run.

Giannis basically having a better season than both his MVP seasons rn and gets no respect.

Thank you for Giannis propaganda we appreciate and love you

Y'all should've brought up Giannis going to Chick Fil A after the Finals and ordering a 50 (not 51, not 49, but 50) piece nugget 😭

The most underappreciated finals performance in recent memory

2021 Playoffs 4th Quarter Khris Middleton was one of the greatest players I have ever seen. Cool, calm, collected, hitting big shot after big shot. Miss watching him play at that level, he was legitimately unstoppable.

I drove 8 hours to Milwaukee to be in the Deer District for game 4 and when I tell you the atmosphere was ELECTRIC

Thank you for bringing up the fact that nobody talks about Giannis's Finals Performance anymore. It is honestly nuts how much disrespect he gets even after that.

You know looking back on it, every team that eliminated Giannis in the playoffs since his 1st mvp went on to play in the finals....Toronto, then Miami, then they won, then Boston and then Miami again. So it might be safe to say that if you eliminate the bucks in the playoffs you are most likely going to the nba finals lol

The 2021 Bucks had a very underrated run. It’s rare that ppl talk about it without mentioning “DERPITY DERP! KD FOOT WAS ON THE LINE! DERPITY DERP!”

The 2021 playoffs as a whole is one of my favorite playoffs ever. Watching competitive basketball in late June and July was so much fun. To this day I think the NBA made a huge mistake not sticking to that schedule moving forward.

Giannis is honestly goated for this series, and also called out the superteam era which is sick

If only Middleton could have stayed healthy, they could 100% go back to back in the finals. Giannis took the bucks to 7 games vs Celtics in the semi-Finals.

I was at Deer District for game 6. Hands down one of the coolest experiences ever. Bucks in 6 baby.

I still can’t believe Chris Paul tried to take Giannis out of the air on that dunk. It was egregious at the time, but it’s still crazy to watch that back. He did a full sprint 2 hand push, if Giannis didn’t hang on the rim he would’ve fell flat to the ground.

Will always love Giannis for denying the Point Fraud a ring

As a bucks fan, thank you for helping me relive this. I teared up at the end of game six and regret nothing

This series solidified his name and the reason outside his 2 MVPs on the 75th Anniversary Team

Giannis in 2021 put together the greatest single series performance during an NBA Finals this century. I know the narrative is that 2016 LeBron was better but I don't believe that. This man came back from a hyperextended knee injury in a span of a week which that alone is insane. Giannis was risking the entire prime of his career for a shot at that elusive championship. Not only did he stay healthy but in every single game he either scored 40 or more points or made one of the most iconic plays in NBA Finals History. In Game 1, he had that epic chase-down block on Mikal Bridges which mirrored LeBron blocking Iguodala in 2016. In Games 2 and 3 he had back to back 40 point games. In Game 4 he had "The Block Heard Round the World" which basically KO'd the Suns comeback hopes. In Game 5 he and Jrue Holiday had the legendary "Valley Oop" that sent the Footprint Center into a sting of shock. And finally, in Game 6, Giannis had the greatest single-game performance in a clinching game in Finals History. 50 points to end a 50-year title drought, as the Bucks dethroned Phoenix in front of a raucous crowd at Fiserv Forum. We've seen many great individual Finals performances before and since, but I'm not sure if we'll see a 2021 Giannis-type run for a long time.
