The former Milwaukee Bucks superstar, now in his first season with Miami, delivered a highlight-reel moment during Monday night’s matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.

Early in the third quarter, Giannis drove to the basket and threw down a MASSIVE one-handed dunk over Dallas center Daniel Gafford.

The kind of dunk that makes you feel bad for the guy standing underneath the basket!

The Heat entered the matchup looking for their first win of the season after starting 0-3, and Giannis was clearly doing everything he could to bring some energy to the team.

And if this is what we’re getting from Giannis in Miami, Heat fans could be in for one entertaining season!
