In fact, in his post-game presser following their 109-10 win against the Phoenix Suns, Middleton shared his disbelief to what Giannis just did. He was basically at a loss for words, emphasizing that plays like those are a rarity in the NBA.

“Excuse my language, but it was one of those ‘Oh shi‌t’ moments,” the Bucks swingman said of Antetokounnmpo’s block, per Spencer Davies of Basketball News.

Khris Middleton is not alone in his sentiment … err sho‌ck. NBA players watching the game like Damian Lillard, Draymond Green and Spencer Dinwiddie all went nuts over Giannis Antetokounmpo’s block.

Andre Iguodala, meanwhile, even compared it to LeBron James’ chasedown block on him in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals–a moment so iconic that it is only called “The Block” since everyone knows what it is upon hearing just the title.

Sure enough, Giannis’ block is easily what won the Bucks the contest to tie the series at 2-2. Of course, Middleton played a huge part in Milwaukee’s late run, but it was the crucial stop that started everything for them. Had Ayton dunked the ball, the game would have been tied at 91-all with just a minute remaining on the clock.

Simply put, Giannis Antetokounmpo literally stepped up for the Bucks when it mattered most.
