Myles Turner Put Giannis Antetokounmpo On A Poster

Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers left Giannis Antetokounmpo stunned on Thursday night.

Antetokounmpo is one of the most talented stars in the league, and also one of the biggest too.

So it’s not every day that he gets dunked on.

But that is exactly what Turner did during his team’s surprise win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Late in the fourth quarter, Turner received the ball, went toward the basket, caught some air, and easily dunked over Antetokounmpo.

The crowd in Milwaukee was obviously shocked to see such a play, as was Antetokounmpo.

But those who have been paying attention to Turner weren’t surprised at all.

The center is arguably having the best season of his career with 17.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.4 assists a game on a strong 54.3% field goal percentage.

Turner has evolved offensively in some big ways this season and has become a dominant player, one of the best in his conference, and a vital part of the Pacers’ future.

For some time, it wasn’t clear what role he would have in Indiana.

His name was part of numerous trade rumors.

Again and again, it seemed like Turner’s days with the Pacers were numbered.

But that has changed this year and the Pacers finally seem very committed to the big man and want him in Indianapolis for the long term.

He has been playing especially well with Tyrese Haliburton, who sat out of Thursday night’s game.

Their work together has been fun to watch and has shown Pacers fans that the future in Indiana could be very bright.
