“He’s like David Robinson”: Carmelo Anthony Showers Giannis Antetokounmpo With Massive Praise, Thrashes Critics
Giannis Antetokounmpo of Milwaukee Bucks is considered one the greatest of all time to step on the hardwood. With extraordinary athletic ability, dunks of Giannis are a sensation. But he has received his share of criticism. Critics point out that his ability is mostly restricted to run and dunk. That, his skill set is not diverse enough. The two-time MVP has his backers in the basketball world, though, who tend to puncture the narrative surrounding the veteran.
In 2020, James Harden took a dig at Giannis without taking his name on the same lines. Giannis then tried to answer Harden by the performance and by the words. But this time, it was Carmelo Anthony who chose to be his defender.
