Instead, Antetokounmpo met Ayton way above the rim for an incredible block. Especially if the Bucks – who won Game 4 to tie the NBA Finals 2-2 – win the title, Antetokounmpo’s play will be remembered as one of the greatest in NBA history. Milwaukee guard Pat Connaughton isn’t waiting. “In my opinion, it’s the best block of all-time,” said Connaughton, who also mentioned LeBron James‘ block of Andre Iguodala in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.
Through four games in the conference finals, Connaughton is averaging 5.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and shooting .364 from 3-point range. He has scored 10 or more points twice during these playoffs, but added nine points in the crucial Game 7 win over Brooklyn to finish the Eastern semifinals — which I suggested to him must have been the nine most important points of his career.
“It’s funny you said that,” he said. “I had somebody say that to me after the game and you don’t usually, I didn’t think about it. I just thought of, and that’s kind of where this Bucks culture comes in, staying in the present. It was a fun game to be a part of. I didn’t even really remember the shots as much as I did a few of the rebounds, as much as I did jumping over the scorer’s table to check into the game, check out of the game, be excited about a Khris Middleton bucket or a defensive rebound and trying to get one more stop. It was just an unbelievable atmosphere.”
George Hill is his favorite ex-teammate. Pat Connaughton: He was a part of what him and I called the bench mob and it was always a blast playing next to him. He did all the little things, he wasn’t a guy who really cared about what showed up in the stat sheet. He had that calm, cool, collected way about him. Played both sides of the ball and he was just fun to play with. He always gave you confidence to shoot, score, defend. You always knew he had your back so you wanted to have his back.
