GIannis drops 50. The Bucks end a 50 year title drought! Giannis is just the 7th player ever to score 50 in an NBA Finals game. Tonight, Giannis has become an NBA legend.

Bucks are the 5th team in history to win the NBA title after losing the first two games. They join the 1969 Boston Celtics, 1977 Portland Trail Blazers, 2006 Miami Heat and 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers.

Giannis is the second player ever to score 50 points in a title winning game. Bob Pettit also scored 50 for the St Louis Hawks in the series clinching game in 1958. the game was also Game 6.

In a development that will surprise absolutely nobody, Giannis wins Finals MVP I was actually hoping Khris Middleton would get recognition for his contribrution to the team's playoff success, but Giannis carried the team to the title, last night especially.

Only two NBA players have ever won regular-season MVP, All-Star MVP, DPOY and Finals MVP: Giannis ... and Michael!

When the only other guy that has ever done what you have done is the GOAT, you're really damn special. Every other player that has ever scored 50 in the Finals is either in the Hall of Fame, or will be there (LeBron). IMO Giannis could retire right now and he'd be a HOF lock. but lets fill up that trophy case a little more first, shall we?

As for looking ahead, please savor this moment, folks. It doesn't come around the bend here very often. Yesterday while preparing to cross Hwy 173 in Illinois, I was damn near killed by a semi running a red light and my first thought after my family was "Damnit, wouldn't you know! I've waited 47 years for this and I almost get killed on the morning of the day that we clinch the title!"

That would take a lot of bronze. I want the contract to supply it. The profits would be enough to retire on
