An encore for Giannis this postseason?

The Milwaukee Bucks kind of coasted to start the year, but they’re playing at a high level and are being led by Giannis. As he led the Bucks to their first championship, Giannis put up ridiculous numbers in the playoffs. Specifically, in the NBA Finals against the Suns.

In last year’s playoffs, Giannis averaged 30 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists on 57 percent shooting from the field. In the NBA Finals, he averaged 35-13-5 on 61 percent shooting from the field.

If Giannis can give an encore performance during this year’s playoff run, I’m not sure there is any team, including the Suns, that’s going to beat Milwaukee four times in a series.
