Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks had promised his fans a great season, and he’s kept his word.
He’s determined to lead his team back to the NBA Finals, and he’s leaving no stone unturned. The Greek Freak has been sensational so far, averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game. But what sets him apart is his domination on the defensive end of the court.
Antetokounmpo is currently leading the league with the lowest opponent field goal percentage.
He’s keeping his opponents to a 41.3% field goal percentage, which is ahead of other players like Ja Morant, Nicolas Claxton, and Draymond Green. This means that Antetokounmpo isn’t just scoring more than 30 points per night, but he’s also shutting down his opponents’ offense.
At seven-feet tall, Antetokounmpo can easily get in the way of the athletes he’s playing against. But what makes him so special is that he can block and defend like a big man while also scoring from the perimeter as well as inside the paint. It’s his versatility that sets him apart from the rest of the power forwards and centers in the NBA.
Antetokounmpo isn’t the sole reason why the Bucks are so competitive and scary to other teams in the league, but his power and defensive dominance make them true championship contenders once again. He’s living up to his promise to fans and leading his team to greatness. As the season progresses, fans can’t wait to see what else he has in store for them. The Greek Freak is a force to be reckoned with, and the league is taking notice.
