Every year, the Greek Freak’s stats have gone up. His skill set has risen every single year. He has becoming one of the best basketball players in all of the NBA and he’s not stopping.
All of the NBA is noticing his skills and how he has the potential of taking over the league. Antetokounmpo is only 23 and he’s becoming a force to be reckoned with. And this year, could be the year he takes the next step forward and becoming the best player in the entire National Basketball Association.
This could be the year Antetokounmpo wins MVP. Two years ago he was tied to seventh in MVP voting. Last year he took sixth place. And going into this season, all bets are on him.
Anything can happen. But overall on this journey, his skills are eye opening. He is incredible in the paint. His jump shot is progressing. He’s hitting mid range shots easy, but three pointers haven’t come just yet. But in the preseason games, his shot looks more smooth and this season could be when Giannis becomes a legitimate deep threat. And with his length, he causes trouble on defense by blocking shots off the glass and pickpocketing players. Get ready ladies and gentleman. Giannis is coming. And he means business.
