The dunk of the year is here, folks.
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo -- perhaps unsurprisingly -- is the player who brought it to us. What was surprising was that Antetokounmpo jumped over the 6-foot-6 Tim Hardaway Jr. on the season’s best dunk.
The play came early in the third quarter as the Bucks took on the New York Knicks at MSG. Milwaukee was out on the break, with Hardaway Jr. trying to defend both Khris Middleton and Antetokounmpo.

Oof. That’s pretty wild even considering Antetokounmpo’s length.
Kristaps Porzingis had to leave the game due to a left knee injury, so at least we got something positive out of this matchup.
Milwaukee beat the Knicks, 103-89.
