Predicting Giannis Antetokounmpo's 12th NBA season
It's crazy to think that Giannis Antetokounmpo is already about to enter his 12th NBA season. Most players who reach that point in their careers begin to slow down a bit. Fortunately for Giannis, he was one of the select few players blessed with good athletic genetics. One could even argue that he's on the path to becoming the next LeBron James in terms of maintaining his dominance in the league.
To be fair though, Antetokounmpo is still in his prime and is relatively young. The “Greek Freak” is only turning 30 this coming December and is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Looking at his numbers last season, he put up insane figures worthy enough for another MVP award if Nikola Jokic didn't win it. Giannis shot a career-high 61.1% from the field and averaged 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game.
Given his performance last season, it seems likely that he could either replicate or achieve similar numbers in year 12. To this day, Antetokounmpo is a force to be reckoned with, which means that he can still easily dominate games on a nightly basis.
