Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in the NBA today. There's no doubt about that; after all, he is the reigning Most Valuable Player in the league.
Recently, the 25-year-old went on Instagram Live to talk about the players that have inspired him to be who he is today. Antetokounmpo named his all-time greats list, and it truly is a formidable bunch.

It's not every day that you see a Top 6 list, but the Bucks forward was able to give a reasonable explanation as to why he just had to add one more name to what started off as a Top 5 list for him.
The only active player on the Bucks All-Star's list is LeBron James, who is indeed considered by many as one of the greatest to have ever played the sport. For his part, Giannis has had several first-hand experiences of being able to go toe-to-toe against LeBron on the basketball court, and surely, this had an impact on why he named James as the first player on his list.
It's interesting how five out of Antetokounmpo's six favorite all-time players have all played for the Los Angeles Lakers. We'll just leave this tidbit here to let you guys make the necessary interpretations — if any — for the same. Just keep in mind, though, that Giannis could be a free agent by the end of next season if he does not sign a new deal with the Bucks, and for the record, the Lakers have been heavily linked to a potential swoop for the Greek superstar.
