The two-time MVP exploded for 30 points, 20 rebounds, 13 assists, two steals and two blocks while shooting 9/17 from the field and 1/2 from the three-point range in 44 minutes of playing time.

Playing without Damian Lillard for a lot of the series, Antetokounmpo showed off his ability to be a playmaker.

He mentioned Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.

Antetokounmpo: "At times I show that I can do it, at times, when I have a great point guard next to me, I just let the guy do his job and I do my job...

I've seen one of the greatest players LeBron James being the best at it.

You see a lot of people playing that way right now." The Bucks have made the NBA playoffs for nine straight seasons.

That said, they will go into a summer filled with a lot of uncertainty.

Via Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo Sports: "30/20/13 for Giannis.

Still playing at an MVP level.

And it's all falling apart around him.

No promising young teammates.

No rights to firsts until 2031.

A washed up head coach.

An aging roster.

A co-star teammate with a torn Achilles.

This offseason is a fork in the road.".
