Sacred NBA champion with the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo impressed his world. Already considered one of the best players in the League, the Greek has taken another step forward by winning this title.
Especially, during this campaign, the star of the Bucks perfectly assumed his status as leader. And despite a lot of pressure on his shoulders, he responded. Even in some hot times.
And for his part, the coach of the Philadelphia Sixers Doc Rivers loved Antetokounmpo’s response to this challenge.
“I don’t like to praise a guy from another team, but what he did last year was amazing … They lost two games in a row in the Playoffs, he struggled on the free throw line.
He goes outside. He has 20,000 people counting the seconds when he’s on the line – we were counting when we played against him – and then he takes the last two games. He is the most dominant player in the NBA. On his throws, he was almost provocative.
So that’s what I liked about him. He’s just provocative. I know I’m probably not going to hit my free throws. I will continue to attack. Again and again. I will continue to go on the line and I will eventually succeed “, thus commented Doc Rivers for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
A beautiful tribute for Giannis Antetokounmpo. By being a little teasing, you could say that Doc Rivers would like to see the “provocative” side of the Greek Freak at Ben Simmons…
Anthony Edwards hallucinated by Giannis: “This bastard is 2.18m, you can’t do anything against him”
