Anthony Davis and Giannis Antetokounmpo are constantly compared to each other, given the fact that they play the same position and are extremely dominant when attacking the rim.
From a couple of seasons ago, they have been compared to one another by fans and analysts. Some think that AD has nothing to do with Giannis, while others think the Greek Freak isn’t at the same level as the Brow.
Given their dominance and the way they play the game, they will be linked to each other for the rest of their careers, and every time one’s name is brought up, many decide to talk about the other. Just recently, Matt Barnes compared them and said that if AD had the same mindset as Giannis, he would be the greatest player of all time.
Paul Pierce Says Anthony Davis Is The Only Player Comparable To Giannis Antetokounmpo
As things stand right now, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar is the best player in the world, but AD has been playing at an excellent level as of late, even though the Los Angeles Lakers have suffered tough losses in the process. Still, this doesn’t change the fact that these two are dominating right now, and a former legend believes that these two are each other’s perfect match.
During a recent edition of Showtime’s “KG Certified,” Paul Pierce talked about Anthony Davis, saying that he’s playing like the man that the Lakers need to compete this season.
“But this is the version of A.D. the Lakers need,” Pierce said. “This is what we’ve been talking about. He needs to take over, be the guy. A.D.’s the guy. If he’s in the MVP talks, then the Lakers got something.”
Kevin Garnett asked if AD would be able to keep the good rhythm all season long, but Pierce was convinced, even saying that he’s the only player who can compete with Giannis for the best player in the league.
“That’s the thing, K.G.,” Pierce replied. “We all know he was capable skill-wise, capable of this. It’s just about the mentality of going out there, doing it every night. He’s the only one in the league that can match up with Greek Freak (Giannis Antetokounmpo), and we say Greek Freak is the best player in the league.”
These two are having great seasons, individually speaking. Even though Jayson Tatum appears to be the clear favorite to win the 2023 MVP Award, Antetokounmpo and Davis are chasing the Boston Celtics superstar, trying to lead their teams to the top spots in their respective conferences and become the best player in the association.
