The Los Angeles Lakers still have yet to find a way back into the win column after suffering their third-straight loss at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks. Fortunately, there were some positives to take away from their defeat this time around.
Rookie point guard Lonzo Ball made history by becoming the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double. As a result, Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo could not wait to field questions about Ball in the locker room after the game, via MLG Highlights:
“I think he did great. He' s really great player,” Antetokounmpo said. “As he keeps working hard to help his team win, he is going to do great things in this league. You can see he has really good basketball instincts and a high IQ for being just 19.”
Anetokounmpo was certainly no slouch either, recording 33 points, 15 rebounds, and three assists. However, performances like this one have become somewhat of a regular occurrence for the “Greek Freak.”
Meanwhile, Ball has had a rough start scoring-wise to begin the 2017-18 NBA season. Fortunately, he has proven just how capable he is of filling up the stat sheet every night. More importantly, Ball's overall game has garnered the respect of opponents throughout the league.
