Luka Doncic Calls Giannis Antetokounmpo The Best Player In The World

At age 27, Giannis Antetokounmpo has built up quite a resume highlighted by an NBA championship, an NBA Finals MVP, two Most Valuable Player of the Year awards, a Defensive Player of the Year honor, and six NBA All-Star appearances. 

The Greek Freak is part of every conversation regarding the best player in the world. While the label seems fitting for him, Antetokounmpo isn’t interested in being called as one.

When one journalist called him the best player in the world during an interview last month, Giannis was quick to downplay the compliment, and even went a step further, revealing that he believes Stephen Curry is the best player in the NBA.

After last night’s game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Dallas Mavericks however, Mavs superstar Luka Doncic was the next player to admit that to him, Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best player in the world.

“It’s hard to go against a guy like that. He’s the best player in the NBA right now — almost impossible to stop.”

Luka Doncic on if he enjoys playing against Giannis Antetokounmpo:

“Enjoy is hard because I want to win. It’s hard to go against a guy like that. He’s the best player in the NBA right now — almost impossible to stop.”
