In Friday's exhibition game in preparation for EuroBasket, a Montenegrin player managed to pry the ball from his Greek opponent and was off to the races, maintaining separation from the trailing defenders.

However, that separation was apparently no match for Milwaukee Bucks phenom Giannis Antetokounmpo, who used his ridiculous length, athleticism, speed, and hops to swoop in and erase the layup attempt with a ruthless chase-down block.

The Greek Freak finished with 20 points on 10-of-14 shooting from the field to go along with nine rebounds, three assists, and that dirty rejection in Greece's 83-81 victory.
