Like any good Greek myth, Friday’s 94-87 loss to the Bucks featured a celestial figure, but was less about their divine feats and more about the human struggle found in between them.
Giannis Antetokounmpo draws hyperbole, because he really is like nothing the league has seen before. An amalgam of maxed-out size, strength, and athleticism, he ambles down the basketball court with a singular purpose of attacking the rim. Or, as Gregg Popovich put it before the game: “to destroy you”.
The scouting report on Antetokounmpo couldn’t be more straightforward, even if the means to implement it remains elusive.
