Giannis Antetokounmpo is very good at basketball.
The Milwaukee Bucks forward is the (very early) leader for the 2017-2018 NBA MVP award and his numbers through six games of action are mind-boggling. In those contests, Antetokounmpo is averaging 34.7 points (on 63 percent shooting), 10.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game and, if anything, his production almost undersells the level of dominance displayed by the 22-year-old.
On Sunday afternoon, the Atlanta Hawks ran into the brick wall that the former No. 15 overall pick presents and, in short, they felt it.
“It’s a big challenge the way Antetokounmpo started the season,” Mike Budenholzer said.
