This Giannis Block On Deandre Ayton Had NBA Twitter Going WILD

Where does this rank among best NBA Finals blocks of all-time? 👀

Still unreal to think he played on a hyperextended knee

To think that this play made the trade today possible. I knew stone hands Ayton would get shipped out and no one wanted to listen

As a suns fan, this block still haunts me

I will never forget this highlight in my entire life.

That man can fucking move

If you see recovery block vs carmelo anthony too vs thunder giannis always on time to recover even melo school him

This 2021 Giannis championship is #1 in history book for sure in the NBA

Well if you’re a Suns fan you know even if Giannis didn’t block Ayton Ayton would probably have missed seeing he barely gripped the ball with both hands and that Ayton fumbles the ball alot

Better block, this one or LBJs chasedown on Iggy?

Credit to the refs for not calling a foul. I wasn't sure that was a clean block when I watched it live because it happened so fast, but it was and if they called that as a foul it could've changed the outcome of the series.

Everybody Remembered where they were and the first words out of their mouths when Giannis did this!

You know that moment in 2.k where you go "bushit!"?

Block was literally from an Anime 🤣 this the type of play Generations of Miracles would do on a court

It’s this play right here that puts Giannis over the top as the best player in the world.

This shit ain’t better than Lebrons. See people trying to call it name one and nah. Ayton say Giannis about to block him off a bad Booker pass. Iguadala had no idea the boogie man was lurking. That’s why lebrons is so great. The timing, the distance traveled and the fact warriors did everything right and had no idea Lebron was coming

Lebrons block and Giannis block right here are the two best blocks in nba history

I come back to this and it really might be the best block I've ever seen... Not only the reaction time to an alley but while down 2 and with less than 2 minutes, the Suns bench saw that in real time and couldn't even fake it for a foul call.

Every now and then I always think about this block. Giannis was so amazing to have the presence of mind to stay with Booker and recover to turn around & block Ayton. It is one of greatest defense plays you will ever seen.

I’m more than certain that the Suns win the finals if they make this shot. Bucks were down 2-1 Suns would’ve tied the game, probably won it since this probably hyped all the Bucks players and killed some momentum on the Suns. Then they would’ve gone to Phoenix up 3-1

These plays are what separated Shaq from everyone else..because shaq woulda put Ginnais through the rim....

Greatest defensive play in NBA history.

Don’t stop, never give up.

one of the best games in finals history

The block that will define his career 🤯

greatest and most clutch block of all time imo. i've never seen or experienced anything like this and i've been watching since early 90's. just nothing compares to this moment.

Perks of being a 7footer. Guarded the pick and the roll.

Here's my prediction for his rings
2021
2023
2024
2026
2029

How about that travelling just after?

Absolutely soul stealing.
Giannis is a god.

And people call him "unskilled" lol

All time 😉!

Giannis did this in front of Oscar Robertson and Kareem

Dude. Bron my fave active player. This Giannis block to me is on par with LeBron's 2016 block on Iggy. So unreal I've never seen this done by another player. In clutch time of the finals too. Give this this his damn flowers

Pass is a little off.. if it was closer to the rim, it will be an and one.. ayton had to tilt back just to get it.. giannis had the time cuz of that.

Devin booker: I have seen this movie before😂😂

Best defensive play in history of NBA

worthy successor to Lebron blocking Iguodala.

Bucks will have another ring for sure
Giannis is still in his prime to push more

When I saw this live I knew the Bucks were winning the series. I genuinely think this was the complete momentum shift of the series.

Giannis is one of my favorite players to watch.

remember when booker and ayton were being called the next kobe and shaq? that lob reminded me of the one from kobe to shaq in the western confrence final against the blazers. except kobe and shaq didnt have giannis to worry about.

I STILL CANT BELIEVE HE PULLED THIS OFF

lebrons chasedown or this?

“This building is shaking” will always stay with me, such a legendary moment

Best block I've seen

The greatest defensive play in finals history

Booker put too much hang time in that pass

I've seen NBA legends getting double even triple teamed at times... But one person guarding and STOPPING two players at the same time!!! This is insane..!! And what makes it better is that everyone was rooting for the SUNs to win, from many NBA players to sports analysts, they didn't think Giannis and the Bucks could win but he sure shut them up.

Shot block by Antetokounmpooooou
