Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks has had the opportunity to play point guard for much of his time with the team. His skills allowed him to play that position, and his tremendous size and length gave him a significant advantage over other points guards in the NBA.
Now that he's developed more point guard skills over the years, he is looking for ways to improve his games much as he can. That's where Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson could come in.
Johnson was the first big point guard to succeed on a massive scale. Because he was so good at his size, Johnson revolutionized the position back in the 1980s. Because of Johnson's prowess, Antetokounmpo hopes to he can speak to Johnson about his game soon, per Nick Friedell of ESPN.
“I would love to have a talk with him and see the way he thinks about the game,” Antetokounmpo said. “And I know he's a guy that's willing to do that with young guys in the league. I definitely would love to sit down and talk with him. Just have a conversation and see how he views the game and what he thinks.”
Antetokounmpo is young and thirsty to learn, and that is evident in his desire to speak with arguably the best point guard to ever play the game of basketball. And with Johnson being a generous and gregarious individual, there is no reason Johnson wouldn't jump at the opportunity to advise Antetokounmpo.
The Bucks star would benefit greatly from a sit-down with Johnson, and it would be great to see this happen and examine afterwards how Antetokounmpo's game has changed.
