Giannis on LeBron: “He’s one of the best, if not the GOAT”

by

Very close to making history is LeBron James.

“The King” is only 36 points away from surpassing him Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and become the all-time leading scorer in NBAsomething he is expected to accomplish either in the Lakers’ next matchup with the Thunder (8/2, 5:00 AM), or the day after against the Bucks of John (10/2, 5:00 AM).

THE Antetokounmpo on the occasion of the possibility of breaking the record in a match between them, he referred to the career of LeBron James and the role he played in his life as an indalma, stressing that he might be the best of all time.

In detail what the “Greek Freak” said:

For LeBron: “I’ve said it many times. I – although a lot of people talk about Michael Jordan – I grew up watching LeBron, Kobe, Durant. What made him stand out was consistency. He’s been good for 20 years. He never had a serious injury, he was always available for his team. He always plays at the highest level.



For the record he will make: “He’ll probably break the record with the Thunder or us, but he won’t stay there. He will likely become the first player in history to reach 40,000 points. This year he is averaging 30 points, just like last year. The last time he did this was, what, 23 years old? It’s crazy, but it’s getting better. It moves better. He obviously understands the game, but now it’s like he’s dominating. He knows where to go, how to get ahead.”

On whether he has LeBron as an idol: “Obviously he has set the plan that I want to follow. Many players come and go. They are good for two, three or five years. I want to be great for +15 years. To be able to make my team successful, to win championships, to improve

When you think of LeBron, these are the things you think of. Consistency and the fact that he has been great for years. He will reach 40,000 points and I don’t think there will be anyone who can come close to breaking that record for a long time. To break this record you have to play 20 years at a high level without injury and maybe break it. Which is crazy. We’ve certainly competed against each other quite a few times.”

For the match with the Lakers: “Obviously we will try to get the victory against LA, who defeated us in the first match. We will not think about the record. But it is certainly a historical record and you have to take your hat off to someone so great. You have to show him respect, give him flowers and hope that in the future you will be in such a position that people will do the same to you. He’s definitely one of the top, if not the GOAT.”
