The Milwaukee Bucks are looking to eliminate the Chicago Bulls in Game 5 of their first round playoff series Wednesday night. The biggest reason for the team's success is of course Giannis Antetokounmpo. Prior to tip off, Charles Barkley while on the set of NBA Tip Off on TNT, drew comparisons between the Bucks superstar and Tim Duncan.

“Other than Tim Duncan, he's the most humble, quiet superstar I've ever been around,” Barkley said.

Tim Duncan is quite literally the poster child of superstars who downplay themselves and any attention. Even though Milwaukee's Antetokounmpo has a bit more personality and flare to him, he is equally humble. The Bucks power forward constantly is heaping praise on others, or saying all the right things at the podium after a game.

Now, Antetokounmpo has to hope that he can duplicate the type of success that Duncan had. Duncan helped lead the San Antonio Spurs to five NBA Championships. They are the only championships in franchise history.

Antetokounmpo took a big step in that direction last season. He led the Bucks to only their second championship in franchise history, and the first in exactly 50 years. He didn't just lead the team to the title either. He had one of the most dominant NBA Finals' in the history of the game, including a 50-point close-out Game 6.

Like Duncan, Antetokounmpo is one of the best defensive players of his generation. He has won Defensive Player of the Year, as well as NBA MVP. That puts him on a very short list of players in the history of basketball.
