Giannis Antetokounmpo has looked like a much more confident shooter this season than ever before. The Milwaukee Bucks superstar is a respectable jump shot away from being the most unstoppable player in the NBA.
The Greek Freak is trending up so far this year, shooting from distance at the best clip he's done so in recent seasons. He may not be on Kevin Durant's level yet shooting-wise, but he's at least been better than Bucks teammate Khris Middleton.
The Bucks star was beyond ecstatic when he found out about the news, going from hyped to being hilariously in disbelief anyone would doubt him.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is shooting 31.6% from distance so far this season, the best percentage of his career since his Bucks rookie year when he was taking less than two per game.
Middleton on the other hand is on pace for the worst three-point shooting season of his career. He's making just 1.5 of his 5.8 attempts per game, good for a brutal 25.7% from downtown.
The Bucks swingman could very well be another victim of the Wilson ball fiasco that some NBA stars have already blamed for the league-wide shooting struggles. But best believe Giannis Antetokounmpo will still take that W.
While he definitely looks happy about shooting better than Khris Middleton thus far, both he and Bucks fans probably hope. his percentage rises as the season goes along. The Bucks haven't looked like the reigning NBA champions through the first few games, but it's only a matter of time until they regain their form.
