Giannis Antetokounmpo is completely unfair. The 22-year-old is putting together an MVP-worthy season and is now flying over 6’6″ NBA players to throw down absurd alley-oop dunks.
The Greek Freak jumped over Tim Hardaway Jr. to throw down this insane jam in the Bucks-Knicks game Tuesday night at MSG. Humans aren’t supposed to be able to do this stuff:

That’s a rough moment for Hardaway, and things would only get worse for him later in the game. The former Michigan Wolverine injured the same leg that just forced him to miss six weeks (with a stress reaction). He couldn’t put weight on the leg and was helped to the locker room.

Hopefully Hardaway’s leg injury isn’t serious, but he may have to deal with nightmares of Giannis flying over him for a long time.
