The Ups And Downs Of Being An NBA MVP: Giannis Antetokounmpo Gets Posterized By Myles Turner And Mocked By Fans

Last night On March 16, Giannis Antetokounmpo and his team, the Milwaukee Bucks, played against the Indiana Pacers at Fiserv Forum. Unfortunately, the Pacers won the game with a score of 139-123. During the game, Myles Turner made an impressive move that was so awesome.

Toward the end of the fourth quarter, with Indiana leading by 14 points, T.J. McConnell made a move toward the basket and got the attention of two defenders. He then passed the ball to Turner who was free from any defense and Turner made a powerful dunk on Giannis Antetokounmpo. This incredible play got the crowd excited and even the commentators couldn’t help but react to it.

The Bucks are still in the number one spot in the Eastern Conference with a record of 50 wins and 20 losses, while the Pacers have a record of 32 wins and 38 losses, which brings them closer to the play-in stage. If both teams continue to perform well, they might end up facing each other in the first round of the playoffs.

Antetokounmpo is still recognized as one of the top defenders globally and deserves credit for not hesitating to challenge opponents, even if it means getting dunked on. On the other hand, Myles Turner had the opportunity to even the score after being posterized two times by Antetokounmpo in the past, and he managed to do so with his latest dunk on him.

Social media users were quick to share their thoughts on Turner’s poster slam on Antetokounmpo. Some fans were impressed by the Indiana Pacers player’s courage to dunk on one of the most skilled players in the world, while others used the opportunity to criticize Antetokounmpo’s abilities, despite him being a two-time MVP.
