With last night’s win over the Lakers, the Milwaukee Bucks move forward with the best record in the league (25-4). There is much to be attributed to Giannis Antetokounmpo, the reigning league MVP. Even LeBron had to tip his hat to the Greek Freak after he dropped a career-high 5 threes against the Lakers. With Giannis playing the way he is, could “The King” be close to losing his crown?
The Greek Freak could be on his way to another MVP season, but nothing compares to Giannis’ night in LA. Everyone knows about Giannis Antetokounmpo, but many people are unaware of the abundance of talent in the Antetokounmpo family. Thanasis Antetokounmpo, who is Giannis’ older brother, signed a contract with the Bucks during the offseason. Kostas Antetokounmpo, who is Giannis’ younger brother, was traded to the Lakers a few months ago. Along with their youngest brother, Alex, the Antetokounmpo brothers are one extremely talented group.
Having a career night against the Lakers was not the biggest part of Giannis’ night. Having two of his brothers in the league with him is something that Giannis is very thankful for. Although he scored 34 points on the star studded Lakers, the moments that Giannis shared with his brothers meant a lot more.
