In a recent interview Former US President Barack Obama picks Milwaukee Bucks’ reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo over Luka Doncic and Zion Williamson. Obama has been a huge NBA enthusiast over the years and has praised a lot of stars through the course. Whereas talking about Giannis Antetokounmpo, his importance was depicted by the Bucks when they offered his the supermax $228 Million extension of 5-years.  

Giannis hasn’t got the results going into his favor in the pre-season against Luka Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks. As far as Doncic is concerned, according to certain betting odds, he is predicted to lead the MVP race going ahead of Giannis as well as Lebron James. Having said that, Barack Obama spoke to Bill Simmons about who he thinks the best young player in the NBA with the brightest future is right now. 

“Giannis Antetokounmpo needs a twelve- or fifteen-footer” Barack Obama 

Obama says that if Giannis can develop a proper mid-range shot, he will be absolutely unstoppable. He said, “I want to see if Giannis gets a mid-range this year. Everybody is worrying about Giannis getting a three-point shot. Giannis needs a twelve-footer or fifteen-footer. That’s what matters. If he does, then I think he’s unstoppable. If he has the same shot as a Karl Malone or even a Kawhi, where in crunch time, he can just pull up. Who is going to block that shot?” 

However, should Giannis Antetokounmpo be unable to develop a mid-range shot like he said, Barack Obama believes that Luka Dončić has the highest ceiling. He also mentioned that he enjoyed watching the New Orleans Pelicans’ Zion Williamson a lot. Obama said, “So if he doesn’t develop it, then probably Luka just because more skillset. Although, Zion’s just more fun to watch.” 

Ahead of the 2020-21 season approaching, all these 3 concerned players are expected to lead their franchises. It is only up to time to tell who can take their franchise, how far. Until then let’s enjoy the spectacle of watching these 3 young stars in the same era.
