The mutual respect between two-time MVPs Steph Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo has been on display for quite a while. But perhaps never more so than on Sunday at the Milwaukee Bucks media day.
Antetokounmpo, who was recently ranked as the best player in the NBA by ESPN (Curry was ranked No. 5), was asked if he felt that he was the top player in the league. Always a rare blend of confidence and humility, Antetokounmpo said he wasn’t. He instead named Curry as the best player in the world, pointing to the Golden State Warriors recent run to a fourth championship in eight years.
