The Milwaukee Bucks recorded a big win on Sunday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Their dominant 119-98 victory marked their second straight win after the All-Star break, which incidentally, were both road games.
Giannis Antetokounmpo heaped praise on his team after their blowout win in Philly, but being the ultimate competitor that he is, the Bucks talisman did not hesitate to drop a stern warning for his squad amid their mini hot streak.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Message for Milwaukee Bucks After Win Vs. 76ers
According to Antetokounmpo, the Bucks will only achieve ultimate success if everyone buys in. Giannis reminded his teammates to know their respective roles and to make sure that they perform them every single night:
“Leaders gotta lead, shooters gotta shoot, shot blockers gotta block shots, defenders gotta defend, everybody’s gotta do their job,” Antetokounmpo said, via Eric Nehm of The Athletic. “In order for us to be good, everybody has to do their job.”
Giannis, of course, is starting with himself. He knows that the Bucks look to him for his leadership, and he has done evrerything he can to lead by example.
On Sunday against the Sixers, the former back-to-back MVP just fell short of another triple-double with 30 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists, and a block in 36 minutes of action.
Off the court, Antetokounmpo never fails to come out with these timely reminders not to rain on his team’s parade, but in order to make sure that they keep their eyes fixed on the prize.
