Heading into NBA Media Day, crowning the best player in the NBA is simple for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antentokounmpo. Speaking to the media, he thinks the top spot goes to Stephen Curry.

“I think the best player in the world is the person that is the last man standing,” Antetokounmpo said. “It’s the person that takes his team to the Finals, the finish line and helps them win the game. … that’s how I view it. I believe the best player in the world is Steph Curry.”

In various offseason lists, Antentokounmpo comes in pole position, but that means nothing to him.

“I got jealous of Golden State, seeing them in the parade and the ESPYs,” Giannis added. “You know that feeling now. You know what is getting stripped away from you.”

With that fire in his heart, good luck to the Philadelphia 76ers, who open against the Bucks on Oct. 20.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Completes Challenge Made to Him From Kobe Bryant

The ears of all Chicago Bulls fans across the world have perked. NBA Superstar, 2x league MVP, and a candidate for the best player on the planet, Giannis Antentokounmpo, has left the door open on one day playing for another franchise, specifically the Bulls.

A reporter from Fox 32 Chicago asked Antentokounmpo about joining the Bulls in the future while the star was promoting his new ambassadorship with Antidote Health.

“I think anybody you ask that question that plays basketball, if he said no, he’d be a liar,” Antetokounmpo said. “It’s a team that won multiple championships; it’s a team that one of the greatest players, if not the greatest player to ever play this game, played for. So it’s a no-brainer; everybody would love to play for Chicago.”

Now, before Bulls fans get to penciling in their championship, Antentokounmpo did reaffirm he is committed to the Bucks for the near future.

“Down the line, you never know. You never know how life brings it, maybe I play for Chicago,” Antetokounmpo said. “But right now I’m committed to Milwaukee.”

Antentokounmpo won’t be a free agent until 2026.
