NBA champions: Bucks break 50-year title drought

Led by Greek superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee team beats the Phoenix Suns 105-98 to claim the title.

The Milwaukee Bucks have broken a 50-year title drought, becoming National Basketball Association (NBA) champions after a commanding performance by Greek superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. In what is one of the greatest NBA finals performances ever, 26-year-old Antetokounmpo scored 50 points, had 14 rebounds and five blocked shots to lead his team to a 105-98 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Antetokounmpo, who was making his finals debut, was named the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player after leading the Bucks to a 4-2 series win. The accolade made him only the third player in history, behind Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon, to win a regular season MVP Award, a Finals MVP Award and a Defensive Player of the Year Award.
