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.
Carmelo Anthony on Giannis Antetokounmpo
Former basketball player Carmelo Anthony put his weight behind the star. He opined that the athletic ability of Giannis is unique, if not diverse. Carmelo was asked if Giannis could just run and dunk, and he asked for the rock to step and score a dunk. Carmelo answered that why should somebody change a skill that has brought him to the highest level.
He further added that Giannis needed not to be perfect and that he needed not to have everything in his kitty. He added that what Giannis brings to the game is unmatched that only a few in the basketball world can create. Carmelo compared Giannis to David Robinson’s athletic, run, and dunk ability.
Carmello said while talking to the writer and comedian The Kid Mero, “What you bring to the game is something unmatched. He is like a David Robinson. Like back in the day used to run the lane you know push the ball get it off the rebound.”
