Twenty-one minutes. That’s all Giannis Antetokounmpo needed to drop 37 points on the Knicks. Well, 21 minutes, 26 seconds, to be exact.
Sure, it was against the Knicks, but it was just another example of the reigning MVP has somehow managed to step up his game this year. He simply had his way with a hapless Knicks defense, easily gliding past any defender New York put in his way. Julius Randle? Left in the dust. Reggie Bullock? Muscled out of the way. Mitchell Robinson? Euro-stepped.
Giannis was already one of the three most dangerous players in the NBA, and then he came out this season and kicked it to another level.
