Giannis Antetokounmpo is without a doubt still the best player on the court. This is in terms of all-around ability. He has carried the Bucks franchise and is a two-time MVP. None of the teams remaining have any superstars with finals and championship experience. He is expected to have a dominant performance in game 2.
