Giannis Antetokounmpo never fails to blow your mind. Sometimes he’s Eurostepping in one dribble from halfcourt, other times he’s using his Go-Go Gadget arms to force home a hammer dunk. In Game 3 against the Toronto Raptors, Giannis did something we’ve never seen before: he blocked a shot with his elbow.
