Watching Giannis Antetokounmpo Until I'm Impressed..

Call it an overreaction if you foolishly insist, but with all the accolades and the company he now keeps after that epic run through the 2021 NBA Finals, Greek Freak absolutely belongs on this list. Old heads might cringe at putting a 26-year-old, after only eight seasons, up here over a number of worthy legends, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is a two-time regular-season MVP, a Defensive Player of the Year, and just earned his first Finals MVP honors after authoring arguably the greatest performance in a close-out game we’ve ever seen. He’s made five All-NBA squads, four times he’s been named to one of the NBA’s All-Defense teams, he’s an All-Star MVP, was the Most Improved Player of the Year in 2017, and was named to the league’s 75th anniversary squad. A guy this young isn’t supposed to have so many accolades on his résumé, especially after he entered the league as such a project. But now that he’s earned his first championship, Antetokounmpo’s entered rarified air. Sure, his game has holes, and Bucks haters will say their run to the title wasn’t the hardest. Who cares? You can’t deny how dominant of an offensive force the Greek Freak is in the paint, how incredible of a defender he’s worked to become, and how inspiring his journey from a skinny kid in Athens to NBA superstar is to millions of basketball fans. Even despite losing in the second round to the Boston Celtics this season, Giannis became the first NBA player in history with 200 points, 100 rebounds and 50 assists in a single series. He’s arguably become the best player in the NBA at this point. Few guys in the league have ever affected the game in all facets like Antetokounmpo does, even if that 3-point shot forever remains a work in progress. Knock us all you want, but we’ll rest easy knowing Antetokounmpo belongs here as a newly minted NBA immortal.
