Giannis Antetokounmpo looked comfortable leading an All-Star-studded team on Sunday night against Team LeBron, putting on a strong showing in the first and third quarter with a barrage of dunks to lead all scorers with 38 points in the game:

“I just tried to play hard and have fun. In my first ASG I was so nervous,” Giannis told reporters after a 178-164 loss on Sunday. “In this, I was relaxed and had my name as the MVP of the third quarter [laughs].”

Antetokounmpo revealed he wasn’t concerned with being a first-time captain nor being overwhelmed by the task:

“It’s easy as long as you stay humble and down to earth, it’s easy,” said Giannis.

The Greek Freak basked in this whole All-Star experience, not abandoning his happy-go-lucky nature for the sake of competition.

Giannis returned the favor from his last All-Star appearance and picked Stephen Curry with his first pick in the All-Star Draft, as well as selecting teammate Khris Middleton first among reserves.

Ultimately, the talent differential showed in the last three quarters, as Team LeBron outscored his team in each of them, blazing past Team Giannis by 14 points at the end of regulation.

The loss will have no consequences for the East-leading Milwaukee Bucks, nor for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has proved friendly, charismatic, and dominant on the court.
