The Greek Freak racked up 50 points, 14 rebounds, five blocks and two assists on the night.<\/strong>After lifting his team to a title, Giannis had a brutally honest message for the rest of the league. The Bucks won a title without creating a superteam \u2013 something Antetokounmpo made sure to point out.<\/strong>\u201cComing back, I was like, \u2018This is my city. They trust me. They believe in me. They believe in us.\u2019 \u2026 Obviously I wanted to get the job done,\u201d he said after winning the title. \u201cBut that\u2019s my stubborn side. It\u2019s easy to go somewhere and go win a championship with somebody else. It\u2019s easy. \u2026 I could go to a super team and just do my part and win a championship.\u201d<\/strong>\u201cBut this is the hard way to do it,\u201d he continued, pounding the dais for emphasis, \u201cand this is the way to do it, and we did it. We f\u2014ing did it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I could go to a super team \u2026 but this is the hard way to do it, and we did it. We f\u2014ing did it.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Antetokounmpo took home the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award after averaging 35 points, 13 rebounds and five assists per game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the immediate aftermath of a legendary performance to close out the 2021 NBA Finals and win a championship for the first time in his career, Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> declared that he signed his five-year, supermax contract extension prior to the season because “there was a job that had to be finished,” and that staying in Milwaukee meant doing it the “hard way.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I just couldn’t leave,” Antetokounmpo said after putting up 50 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks to lead Milwaukee to a 105-98 victory<\/a> over the visiting Phoenix Suns<\/a> in Game 6 of the Finals, delivering the Bucks their second championship — and first in 50 years. “There was a job that had to be finished.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Coming back, I was like, ‘This is my city. They trust me. They believe in me. They believe in us.’ … Obviously I wanted to get the job done. But that’s my stubborn side. It’s easy to go somewhere and go win a championship with somebody else. It’s easy. … I could go to a super team and just do my part and win a championship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“But this is the hard way to do it,” he continued, pounding the dais for emphasis, “and this is the way to do it, and we did it. We f—ing did it.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
