Shortly after being crowned the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for the 2018-19 season, Giannis Antetokounmpo made the particularly bold declaration that he was only playing at 60 percent of his potential.
Of course, there were a couple of obvious areas of Antetokounmpo’s game in need of improvement, but to even set out thinking there was that kind of leap still to be made after winning the league’s most prestigious individual award left the highest of bars to be cleared.
If Antetokounmpo is to be taken at his word, and there’s no reason not to given the further strides he has taken with his production this season, the question must then pivot to what could be the major milestones that could prove the Greek is continuing to build on what would already have appeared to most as indisputable greatness.
