“The Greek Freak has taken over the throne of being the BEST PLAYER in the NBA!” Kendrick Perkins heaps praise on Giannis Antetokounmpo after he surpasses Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kendrick Perkins

Kendrick Perkins is a former NBA player who now is a host at ESPN’s First Take and also a player analyst for the same company. This time, Kendrick Perkins is viral in the headlines, not for a hot take or criticism against a player but for some appreciation for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Since he is the same guy who last season disrespected Giannis Antetokounmpo by calling him the “Robin” and not the “Batman”. Greek Freak though proved him wrong last season itself after making it to the NBA finals and getting his first championship with the Finals MVP.

Recently, the Brooklyn Nets hosted the Milwaukee Bucks at Barclays Center. The game was closely contested as no one gave up until the final seconds trying to prove themselves as the better one which extended the game to overtime. But the great scoring heroics of Giannis Antetokounmpo gave the Milwaukee Bucks the last laugh. As the final box score stands at 120-119 favoring the Milwaukee Bucks. Currently, under the leadership of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks are ranked as the second seed in the eastern conference with the record of 48 wins and 28 losses at .632.

In the game, Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped 44 points, 6 assists, and 14 rebounds. He was a true scorer and leader throughout the game. As he even passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar on the all-time scoring list for the Milwaukee Bucks and now stands on the top as the leading scorer of the franchise with 14,216 points. The shot that made it possible was a go-ahead step-back three-pointer during the clutch which forced overtime and eventually won the game. Kendrick Perkins after the game ended tweeted out his appreciation for the Greek Freak as there is nothing left to prove from his side.

Kendrick Perkins on his appreciative tweet for Giannis Antetokounmpo quoted: “I think it’s safe to say that Giannis has taken over the throne of being the BEST PLAYER in the NBA!!! Carry the hell on… #RealMambaMentality” He just declared Giannis Antetokounmpo as the best player in the league after spectating his legendary performance with unbelievable achievement against the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving led Brooklyn Nets who are their biggest conference rivals. He also pointed out at Mamba Mentality something Giannis Antetokounmpo got from Kobe Bryant during all those challenges he received.

The Milwaukee Bucks under his leadership while being healthy have a real shot at repeating their title as they are the defending champions. The roster also looks in good and great condition with many improvements. Even their leader is in the race for MVP, Scoring Title, and DPOY once again this season. So the team and especially Giannis Antetokounmpo is a serious threat in a playoff series.
