MILWAUKEE -- As Giannis Antetokounmpo carves his way into the highest stratosphere of NBA stardom, the 22 year old wants to make one thing very clear as it pertains to comparisons against LeBron James.
"I'm not on that level," Antetokounmpo said after a 116-97 loss to James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. "LeBron James is one of the best players in the league, and one of the best players to ever play the game. It's great going against him but I don't think about that."
While there's little doubt among many around the league that Antetokounmpo has the kind of game-changing talent to one day approach some of the huge numbers James has stacked up in his career, the young All-Star wants to make it clear that he still has a long way to go in order to be compared to James.
