Giannis Antetokounmpo flushes towering dunk vs. Kings

Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Giannis Antetokounmpo used all of his 6-foot-11 frame for a towering dunk in the Milwaukee Bucks' 144-109 win against the Sacramento Kings.

The "Greek Freak" flush came with about eight minutes remaining in the third quarter of the victory on Sunday at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.

Antetokounmpo ran off of a pick at the top of the 3-point line before coasting into the paint. He stood face to face with Kings 7-footer Kosta Koufos, but it didn't matter much. Antetokounmpo pulled Koufos to his left and turned around the Kings center, before picking up the ball with his right hand and holding it over his head while running toward the rim.

Antetokounmpo eventually elevated and used his right arm to throw down a powerful one-handed finish over the Kings big man. The basket increased the Bucks' lead to 84-57. Koufos was also given a foul on the play. Antetokounmpo made the ensuing free throw.

"The Greek Freak" scored a game-high 26 points and had 15 rebounds and 11 assists in the victory.

"It wasn't that impressive," Antetokounmpo told reporters. "That's my guy. That's my countryman ... He's a great guy. I've met his family. I've met his mother. So it's gonna be kinda awkward when we go back to Greece and talk again. But you gotta do what you gotta do."

The Bucks battle the Trail Blazers at 10 p.m. on Tuesday at Moda Center in Portland.
