On Thursday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks are hosting the Philadelphia 76ers in Wisconsin.
During the game, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo had a big highlight that got a lot of views on social media.
Antetokounmpo spun around his defender, which created space for him to throw down a one-handed dunk.
