Some Milwaukee Bucks fans thought it is time that basketball people recognize Giannis Antetokounmpo as again the best player in the world after he recorded the first ever 35/15/20 game in NBA history.
Media members are also at a loss explaining how the Greek Freak appears to be underrated despite the numbers he produces night in and night out.
The world is again in awe of the things Antetokounmpo does. What is it like seeing it up close?
His teammates has the best reactions to his historic night.
Kyle Kuzma, who has played 27 games so far with Giannis, is at a loss for words.
“Whatever the (expletive) he did,” he told reporters as quoted by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“Whatever the (expletive) he did, yeah.”
Gary Trent Jr., who’s on his first season with Giannis and joined the Bucks to win, has the perfect description for the statline.
“It was crazy,” Trent told said in another sit down with MJS.
“Sitting there on the sideline explaining to guys, a triple-double in the (fourth quarter) and then what he ended with, it’s video game numbers. Like how a ‘my player’ plays. It’s crazy.”
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s long-time teammates still in awe
Pat Connaughto and Brook Lopez, who along with Bobby Portis and Giannis are the remaining players from the championship team, are both left amazed by the Greek Freak. They have been with the Bucks and Antetokounmpo since 2018.
For Connaughton, the two-time MVP had an all-time performance and that it is a testament to his greatness.
“Because I think when you have guys — and there’s only a select few in the history of the game — that can do something and make it look like it was done so easily and continue to consistently do things to that level, I mean, it’s an all-time performance, it’s an all-time player.”
Lopez for his part emphasized how great Antetokounmpo is as a point forward.
“I mean, he was just so great at being that ‘point forward,’ being the engine of our offense, being aggressive but still making the right reads, constantly being a threat to get to the rim and score,” said Lopez, who scored 17 points. “But still, again, spreading the ball around as well. He pretty much did it as perfectly as possible.”
