Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has already accomplished a whole lot in the NBA and he's just nine seasons into his career. The Greek Freak has won an NBA title, been a two-time MVP, and was named a Finals MVP. Aside from that, he's also heading to his sixth All-Star Game this weekend. Given his accomplishments, humbleness, and style of play, that's drawn comparisons to another dominant big man in San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan.
So, what does Giannis think?
“Tim Duncan? I don’t know,” Antetokounmpo told NBA.com. “That’s a tough one.”
A tough one indeed. While Antetokounmpo has done some great things with the Bucks already, it's going to take some time to reach Duncan's level. After all, he's a Hall of Famer who has five rings and three Finals MVP's. Don't forget the 15 All-Star appearances as well.
However, Giannis is just getting started. The sky is the limit when you're as much of a force like him. According to Bucks assistant Darvin Ham, he believes the Greek Freak is just getting started:
“I see that as being right on point,” Ham told NBA.com about Antetokounmpo becoming this generation’s version of Duncan. “He likes to have his fun, don’t get me wrong. But he’s not one of those guys that’s looking to bring a whole lot of nonsense or silliness where his name is being out there. He avoids the drama. He’s about his family and he’s a quiet-to-himself type of guy. He laughs and jokes with his teammates and does different things with his teammates. But outside of that, there’s no shenanigans. It’s straight business and focus.”
And that's exactly how Tim Duncan was. All about his business on the court, no fooling around. If last season was any indication, the best is yet to come for Giannis and the Bucks.
