Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James

Giannis Antetokounmpo has once again provided the Milwaukee Bucks with the playoff push. The two-time reigning MVP has proved time and again why he is debated for being the best player in the near future. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a probable replacement for the current best players like LeBron James and Kevin Durant. However, these talks quietened up after the Milwaukee Bucks faced a defeat last year against Miami Heat. The loss turned out to be a huge back talk for the game while fans demanded Giannis Antetokounmpo to join the Golden State Warriors. Despite so much issues, he stayed back at Milwaukee Bucks. Now, former veteran player BJ Armstrong has supported Giannis Antetokounmpo over current best in the league.

Milwaukee Bucks had a tough mid-season this team. They got slowed down on instances while Giannis Antetokounmpo rose to the occasion. Now he has dragged the team to #3 in the eastern conference with a 38-23 record. The chatter around Giannis Antetokounmpo has once again started for being the best with some of his recent performances. The Greek freak runs both the needs of the court while leading his side maturely.

BJ Armstrong vouches for Giannis Antetokounmpo

The All-Star MVP was backed by Giannis Antetokounmpo after he went for 100% accuracy from the field. H never fails to impress. While LeBron James is dominating the league in the West, Kevin Durant has an influential legacy here in East. But BJ Armstrong believes Giannis Antetokounmpo is better than the two. He has picked the Greek freak over both Bron and KD. He said, “KD is KD. He speaks for himself. He doesn’t need me or anyone to justify what he has done. LeBron James is LeBron James. But it takes effort and energy to do that, go out there and play. You have to play, you have to be healthy. Right now, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been available.”

“Giannis has been impactful on both sides, and Giannis is the best player right now. But, his body of work doesn’t match the other two guys. If you’re asking me today, it’s Giannis without question.” The only problem with Giannis Antetokounmpo is that he fails in the playoffs after his explosive performance in the regular season games. This was one of the reason Bucks failed against Miami last season.

The East is packed with title contending team like the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers. It is a tough job to ask from the Bucks getting to finals. But Giannis Antetokounmpo sees no stops when he has made up his mind. Giannis has 2 MVPs and a DPOY trophy, while a title is still left to add in his bag. Can the Bucks under Giannis Antetokounmpo make it to the finals this time?
