Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is the franchise player for the Milwaukee Bucks, and he is widely considered to be one of the best players in the world today, if not the outright best. Some even believe that he is set to become the face of the league going forward.
Even though some consider him to be the best player in the world and the face of the NBA, it seems as though Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn’t want to be viewed as such. When speaking to Michael Lee of The Washington Post, Antetokounmpo joked that he’d rather be the “best role player” ever rather than become the face of the league.
“I really don’t want to be the face of the league. I really don’t,” Antetokounmpo said. “I just want to hoop. … If that makes me the face of the league, great. But that’s not my focus.”
“You know what I want to be? I want to be the best role player to ever play this game,”
It is clear that Giannis Antetokounmpo has a great sense of humor, and he is already so much more than a regular role player. He is a superstar that has won every possible award in the league already, and he has a lot more to accomplish. Still, it is refreshing to see that one of the best superstars is staying humble, and we’ll see how well he does in the postseason this year.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has had a great season for the Milwaukee Bucks this year and is currently averaging 31.3 PPG, 11.8 RPG, and 5.7 APG. His name is once again in MVP talks due to his production, and we’ll see if he manages to win the award later this season.
Brook Lopez Claimed Giannis Antetokounmpo Isn’t The Frontrunner For MVP Because Of Voter Fatigue
Giannis Antetokounmpo has normalized greatness, and his consistency is absolutely one of the best things about him. Brook Lopez previously claimed that the only reason he isn’t going to be the MVP is because of voter fatigue.
“It’s honestly like he makes being elite, elite, an all-time great player look routine,” Lopez said. “Which in itself is impressive. I think people maybe don’t hold it against him, but it’s voter fatigue.”
“Jokic is a great player, all deserved, Embiid is a great player, all deserved. But it’s just kind of the way it is with Giannis. He’s so great that that’s the reality that comes with it.”
It is true that the MVP award doesn’t always go to the best player in the NBA, and at times it is about rewarding individual seasons. At the end of the day, though, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s ultimate goal will be to win more championships, and we’ll see what happens in the future.
