4. Eight mean mugs on the season

Antetokounmpo has one of the best mean mugs in the entire league. It’s obvious he’s spent a lot of time in front of the mirror perfecting it. And it works.

Antetokounmpo has the perfect timing for his mean mug. He doesn’t bring it out too often, but not too seldom either. He saves it for his biggest of plays in the biggest of moments and doesn’t disappoint when he mugs a poor defender, ripping his soul from him.

This season, we expect to see the mean mug no fewer than eight times. Whether it be after a spectacular dunk over or through an opponent, a game-winner at the buzzer, or a three with someone right in his face, Antetokounmpo will know when the time is right. And when it happens, we’ll all be waiting to go crazy right alongside him.
