The “Greek Freak” has better numbers than last year. But is it in a watered-down Eastern Conference?
Giannis Antetokounmpo is the most dominant player in the NBA. It’s not even close. There was talk that James Harden should have been MVP last year, but with Harden’s efficiency slipping a bit, the Greek Freak has gotten even better.
He leads the Milwaukee Bucks in scoring (31.2), rebounding (13.6), assists (6.0) and steals (1.5). In other words, this dude is absolutely destroying the NBA right now.
Ask the Utah Jazz how he’s doing based on his performance on Monday night.

Lake Show Life doesn’t know what is meaner. His mug or the stat line against the Utah Jazz. Giannis scored 50 points to go with 14 rebounds, six assists, two steals and zero turnovers. This might not be the last time he gets numbers like these.
In the playoffs last year, Antetokounmpo was exposed by his lack of range on his jump shot. Those days are starting to come to an end as it is evident that he has put in work in the offseason increasing his range.
Remember the main ingredient in winning? The Milwaukee Bucks have found themselves at the top of the Eastern Conference. He’s the best player on the best team in the East.
Let’s check out a couple of players in the Western Conference.
