Former NBA forward Antoine Walker enjoys watching Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and Golden State Warriors All-Star Draymond Green play the game of basketball.
Walker believes he, Green and Antetokounmpo have the same mindset on the court:
“I like Draymond Green and his all-around game,” Walker told Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype. “He’s a better defender, but as far as his skill set – pushing the basketball, getting other guys shots and things like that… I probably shot the three better than him, but I really like the way he plays.
“I like Giannis Antetokoumpo’s versatility and long arms and ability to make plays for other people. I like all forwards who get five or six assists per game, the guys who are really good passers. Those are the guys who I really enjoy watching – not necessarily that our games are similar, but more so that our mindset and the way we approach the game are similar. I really enjoy watching those guys play.”
Antoine Walker averaged 17.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists during his NBA career. He played for the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Walker's best days were with the Celtics. He was a three-time All-Star and averaged a career-high 23.4 points per game during the 2000-01 season.
As for Draymond Green and Giannis Antetokounmpo, they are on the opposite ends of the NBA standing. Giannis has led the Bucks to the best record in the NBA and has even pushed his team to become the fastest to clinch a playoff spot in history — notably breaking the Warriors' record.
Meanwhile, Green and his dubs have the worst record in the NBA and are heading to the lottery for the first time in the Steve Kerr era.
