But this one, Chris Middleton, monster in game four when he went for the 40-burger.

And he scored 10 down the stretch to tie the series 2-2.

It is forgotten a little bit.

Also, same game where it looked like the Suns were completing an alley-oop to DeAndre Ayton, and that's where Giannis screamed back, swooped back, and blocked it, and they went and transitioned the other way.

And then in game six, everybody remembers this, Giannis ended one of the greatest NBA finals ever for an individual performance.

50 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocked shots.

Giannis averaged 35, 13 and five while shooting 62% in the six game finals victory.

Yeah.

This is the single best performance by a player in the finals in the 2020s so far.

Yeah.

Giannis.

Yeah.

He dominated, especially that game six.

What?

He was like 17 for 19 on free throws or something like that.

50 points in a clincher.

That was sick.

And coming back into that NBA finals after that big hyper extended knee injury, we didn't know if he'd be playing in game one.

That happened just a week earlier against the Hawks in the conference finals.

Then the guy comes back and is cooking that, you know, the first two games he started slowing in game one.
