Giannis Antetokounmpo is without question one of the most dominant superstars that we’ve seen in recent memory. His ability to finish on the interior is reminiscent of some greats like Shaquille O’Neal.
The Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo have finally gotten over their playoff hump, and have reached the NBA Finals. While there has been some chatter among analysts about how well Giannis Antetokounmpo’s game translated to the NBA playoffs, Nick Wright believes that Giannis Antetokounmpo is a top 3 player in the league currently. While some may disagree with that, it is clear that Giannis Antetokounmpo is at the very least in the conversation to be placed in that position. (1:02)
"Giannis is without question at this point, one of the 3 best players in basketball: LeBron, Durant, Giannis. We can argue about the order, but that's unquestionably the top of the NBA pyramid right now."

There is no question that Giannis Antetokounmpo deserves his recognition for reaching the NBA Finals. Nick Wright places him in the company of other great forwards. Both Kevin Durant and LeBron James are players who have reached the pinnacle of basketball and have won both championships and individual trophies.
If Giannis Antetokounmpo manages to lead the Milwaukee Bucks past the Phoenix Suns in this series, he could join his fellow superstars as an NBA champion. While the Phoenix Suns have a 2-0 lead against the Milwaukee Bucks currently, perhaps Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead his team to victory in Game 5.
