The Milwaukee Bucks’ power forward, Giannis Antetokounmpo, is having the time of his life as the Bucks are thrashing their opponents in every game, seeming like an unstoppable locomotive.
The Bucks are riding a 15-game winning streak that has vaulted them to the top of the Western Conference. This unbelievable winning run was possible because of the effective, deadly, and passionate teamwork that the team demonstrated last night.
Being a member of this fearless team, Giannis is surely living his dream career in the NBA, and there’s no denying it.
What did Giannis Antetokounmpo say?
After last night’s victory over the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center, the visiting team now has a 44-17 record, which indicates a whopping 72.1% winning percentile. It must be a thrilling feeling to look at the scores and stats as a team player.
The 28-year-old PF also felt the same way last night and didn’t waste the chance to express it.
“I just love the game of basketball, I have my family, my kids, my brothers, obviously, but it is not the same without basketball,” Giannis said in the postgame.
