The Milwaukee Bucks fell into a 2-0 hole against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday after another dominating display courtesy of Kevin Durant and Co. After the game, Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked to share his thoughts on KD, and apparently, Giannis is anything but surprised about Durant's level of play right now.
When asked what he believed the Bucks need to do in order to stop Durant, Giannis simply said that there's no stopping the Nets star:
“At the end of the day, he's Kevin Durant,” Giannis said (h/t Nets Videos on Twitter). “He's one of the best scorers in the league. He's supposed to do this”
Antetokounmpo did provide some insight as to the adjustments Milwaukee intend to make with regards to Durant, but in the end, he admitted that trying to stop Durant is an impossible task:

Durant is in a bit of heat right now for allegedly sounding off on Giannis comparisons. For his part, however, there's nothing but praise here from Antetokounmpo.
KD has been nothing short of spectacular for the Nets in their opening two games against the Bucks. The former league MVP is averaging 30.5 points on 55.8 percent shooting, to go along with 7.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.5 blocks in 36.5 minutes per game. Durant is also knocking down 2.5 triples per game on a 50.0-percent clip.
Giannis and the Bucks will need to do something to try and prevent KD from going on another offensive explosion in Game 3. It's an undeniably tough ask, but if they fail to do so, this series could be over sooner than most folks initially expected.
