Everyone knows that Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in the NBA, but what do you think is great?
The Milwaukee Bucks drafted the Anteto Compo on their 15th pick in the 2013 draft, which turned out to be one of the biggest steals in league history.
The Greek freak has received two most valuable player awards (2019 and 2020) and a championship (2021), continually promoting his game throughout his career.
The Houston Rockets explained exactly what it’s like to protect Antetocompo as a forward forward forward.
Antetokounmpo is undoubtedly the best two-way player in the NBA and the only other candidate to be the final MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Not many defensive players have won awards averaged 30 points or more per game.
This highlights the difference between Antetokounmpo and most other superstars, such as Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic.
As Smith Jr. shared three podcasts with the young man with Trey Murphy III, “You Don’t See” the same high intensity on both ends of the court.
“He plays hard as an S,” he said. “Whenever I play him, he does the same thing. He crashes his glasses and plays hard.
“We haven’t seen that from the top five players in the league. The energy he’s deploying energy, he’s playing hard.”
Smith Jr. actually played against Anteto Compo in the second game of his rookie season and soon found him on another level.
The Rockets star has admitted that the two-time MVP gave him the “welcome to the NBA moment” he always remembers.
“In the second game in the NBA, we played against the Bucks. We go to see the movie. It’s ‘Jabari Smith-Antetokounmpo’. He seemed 36 years old. He seemed 14-16.
“We were preparing for the film and obviously they said, ‘building a wall.’ There was no whole game.
“He felt full speed, euro step, dunks… there was nothing I could do.
“To be honest, there was nothing I could do, so it was a ‘welcome to the NBA.’ John Lucas was our assistant coach – me and always with me about it. ”
