Giannis Antetokounmpo has tried so hard to dunk on Aron Baynes this season, and finally, he did it

When you’re a human being with Giannis Antetokounmpo’s dimensions and athleticism, then you can dunk on just about anyone you might like. However, for whatever reason, one player has eluded Antetokounmpo’s attempts to put him on a poster, no matter how many times Giannis tries it.

That player is Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes, who was able to force his way out of two would-be poster dunks in previous meetings this season. In Friday’s Game 3, however, Antetokounmpo was finally fruitful:

Honestly, good on Baynes for getting out of so many jams against Antetokounmpo -- how many in the NBA can say that for themselves? Baynes, although a center, is listed at 6-10 and 260 lbs, so he’s far from Rudy Gobert in the size department. He’s actually shorter than Antetokounmpo, and certainly not the same leaper he is.

Against Giannis, anyone who emerges without getting Tim Hardaway’d can count that as a personal win.

The Milwaukee Bucks were able to win their first game against the Celtics in Friday’s Game 3, so Antetokounmpo wasn’t the only one to finally get one over a slippery opponent. The two teams play again on Sunday.
