“Never sleep on the Greek Freak” Kendrick Perkins believes Giannis Antetokounmpo will bring Bucks in the championship-mix next season

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kendrick Perkins
While Giannis Antetokounmpo was already a 2xMVP, the Greek Freak was never satisfied by his accolades until came the 2020-21 season wherein he led Milwaukee Bucks to the championship throne for the first time in 50 years. Even in the recently concluded playoffs, Giannis Antetokounmpo was an inch away from solely making his team emerge past Boston Celtics.

With Khris Middleton benched out from majority of the playoffs game, Giannis Antetokounmpo could not find the required support on the offensive end, which led to Boston Celtics completely over-powering them in the latter games. Despite that, former player now turned analyst, Kendrick Perkins warns the rest of the NBA of never sleeping of Giannis despite any odd.
Can Giannis Antetokounmpo once again lead Milwaukee Bucks to the top of EC?

On “NBA Today,” the crew of Perkins, Marc J. Spears, Dave McMenamin and Malika Andrews discussed the Bucks’ championship win last year. Wherein Perkins said, “One lesson I learned a year ago was to never sleep on Giannis Antetokounmpo. When I look at the Milwaukee Bucks, they quietly got better in the offseason with the acquisitions that they got in free agency. I think about Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday, they went straight from the Finals to go play and win a gold medal.
“They didn’t have a ton of time to get their rest and get their legs back under them and get healthy. A healthy Bucks team coming back in, a motivated Giannis who wants to get back to the Finals. … I’m looking at their overall roster with their experience, and I’m not sleeping on the Milwaukee Bucks. I got them as one of my favorites in the East.”

That bei g said, Giannis Antetokounmpo averaged 29.9 points, 11.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. He had a PER of 32.05, the third-highest in league history. Given that he could play in the same manner, Bucks are indeed going to pose a serious threat for the championship. For now, the same is absolute clear to Perkins
