Giannis is showing why he’s the best player on the planet.

The Greek Freak was a major force in Sunday’s Game 1 in Boston. He finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds in leading the Bucks to a big 101-89 win to take a 1-0 series lead.

He saved his best play for late in the fourth quarter when he threw the ball off his own backboard and then threw it down for a huge dunk on a self alley-oop that had everyone in awe.

Watch the crazy dunk below:

Twitter lost its collective minds:
