Giannis Antetokounmpo in his recent Instagram live shed light about some of his favorite things in life. He told fans about his choice players, NFL team, rookie, and much more.

Giannis was asked about his favorite rookie in the NBA, to which Bucks star replied with Ja Morant. Ja, who is also a favourite for ‘Rookie of the Year‘ is the obvious choice for Giannis. At 17.7 points, 7.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game on 49.2 percent shooting, the guard has proved lethal for Grizzlies.  Another option for Giannis was obviously Zion Williamson.

Zion has played fewer games than Ja because of his injury early in the season. But all who have watched Pelicans’ star playing can confirm that he is definitely a generational talent. With his skills, athleticism and playing style, it would not be a surprise if Zion would take New Orleans’ to another level.
