The Milwaukee Bucks would have gone down 0-3 against the Phoenix Suns had they lost Game 3 at home. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo did not let that happen, and he put up an astounding performance where he put up 41 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists. It has always been clear that Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in the NBA, and now he's getting to show that on the biggest stage.

Michael Jordan notably scored 4 straight 40 point games against the Charles Barkley-led Phoenix Suns in the 1993 NBA Finals. When a reporter brought that fact up to Giannis Antetokounmpo, the two-time MVP stated that he's not Michael Jordan while being in awe of that fact. It seems as though Giannis Antetokounmpo's focus is on winning the next game to even up the series.

I'm not Michael Jordan. 4, 40 points... straight too? I'm not Michael Jordan. All I care about right now is getting one more.

There is no question that Giannis Antetokounmpo has a long way to go before he ends up catching up to Michael Jordan, viewed by most as the greatest player in basketball. Winning this series would give Giannis Antetokounmpo his first championship, and his performances suggest that Antetokounmpo will do everything in his power to achieve that goal.
