Giannis Antetokounmpo is unbothered by what Alperen Şengün thinks about how he plays the game.
After Şengün said that the Milwaukee Bucks star is “not a great passer,” Antetokounmpo told the Houston Rockets star to check his highlights.
“I’m a guy that don’t like to talk a lot,” he said. “I let my game talk. I’m going into my 13th season in the NBA, I’ve won everything. Everything. And (EuroBasket) was the thing I hadn’t won, and I won… I’m not the guy that will talk back to coaches or players or people that say bad things about me. It doesn’t really matter because, at the end of the day, you won’t remember what they say, you will remember how I respond. So I keep everything to myself. You can go and check my YouTube. Go see my clips on YouTube and then come back and ask if I’m a good passer or not.”
Passing is far from Antetokounmpo’s greatest skill, but to say that he’s not a great passer is a bit unfair, at least for a player at his position. Antetokounmpo has averaged 5.0 assists per game over his career and has averaged more than six assists per game over the last two seasons. The two-time MVP is also the Bucks’ all-time leader in assists.
