These NBA playoffs have been exciting, and it’s only the first round. One of the major upsets, however, has been the 1st-place Milwaukee Bucks losing to the 8th-seeded Miami Heat.

The Heat had to play two additional games even to make it to the playoffs. Then after star player (and potential MVP candidate), Giannis Antetokounmpo went down with an injury in Game 1, the Heat took advantage.

Although he returned in Game 4, it was not enough.

Fourth-quarter collapses in Games 4 and 5 sealed their fate, to the shock of most NBA pundits.

On the court, Giannis is about his business. Off the court, he’s known to be goofy, funny, charitable, and family oriented (who else can get their brothers in the league?).

But don’t let his sometimes child-like antics fool you. Beneath that jovial exterior is a cerebral, measured man.

For example, after winning the NBA title in 2021, he showed his knowledge of Stoicism and love for Ryan Holiday’s books, staying even-keeled when they won.
