Despite that fact, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas recently had some interesting things to say about Giannis Antetokounmpo. “Right now, his game is all physical,” Arenas said. He explained. “I’m saying if you guys had him No. 1 or No. 2, and he does not understand this game yet, that’s scary,” Arenas said. “… Give him Tim Duncan’s knowledge, whole different player, isn’t he?”

I asked Hall-of-Fame bound coaches George Karl and Del Harris the following question:
If they were Giannis Antetokounmpo’s coach, would they allow him to shoot 3?
Their responses start at the 46:48 mark:

Greek National Team: Ahead of Eurobasket 2022, the player who seems to be in better condition than the 4 injured is Ioannis Papapetrou. Kostas Sloukas, Kostas Antetokounmpo and Giorgos Papagiannis are not 100% ready, but they are expected to be in the 12-man squad. #EuroBasket – 7:43 AM

Greece have four injury problems (Sloukas, Papapetrou, Papagiannis, K. Antetokounmpo), but Itoudis said that there are “some good news”. There is also a possible scenario: the Greek ΝΤ might travel with 13 or 14 players in Italy & decide there the final roster. #HellasBasketball – 3:44 PM

More on this storyline
Sirius XM NBA: “Give him Tim Duncan’s knowledge, a whole different player isn’t he?” Longtime NBA guard Gilbert Arenas joined @Rick Kamla & @adaniels33 to clarify his comments about Giannis. #FearTheDear pic.twitter.com/G6it9PsDoG -via Twitter @SiriusXMNBA / August 31, 2022
Recently, Gilbert Arenas drew flak and major backlash mainly from the Milwaukee Bucks fans about his personal take about Giannis Antetokounmpo. The retired former star has claimed on his own podcast that the Greek superstar doesn’t fully understand yet the game of basketball. Addressing the controversy he made with regards to this, Arenas then penned down a lengthy Instagram post defending his notion about the two-time MVP. -via TalkBasket / August 28, 2022
The Bucks have been consistent title contenders as a result, and it is worth noting that Antetokounmpo got his two MVP awards and Defensive Player of the Year honor in the past for years alone when he’s averaging 30 to 33 minutes peer outing. Despite that, however, Arenas defended his take and even took to Instagram to say how Giannis didn’t really add a new skill to his arsenal. For him, the Greek Freak simply got stronger and wiser, but not really better in basketball. “Has he added any new skill to his game? Has his 3% gotten better (nope) has his mid range gotten better (nope) has his free-throws % gotten better (nope) has his back to the basketball play gotten better (nope),” Arenas wrote. “He’s gotten stronger, his ability to take bumps and finish has gotten better which helps his over all shooting %. [But] the same flaws he walked into the game with he still has now, which is why I said he needs to learn the game more to understand how to improve his overall game,” Arenas wrote. -via Clutch Points / August 28, 2022
NBA Central: Jason Williams says it’d be harder for MJ to score in this era “It was easy for him to get to the bucket against GP as it would be against Jrue Holiday today with Giannis and Brook Lopez sitting back there…He’s not scoring as easy today as he did back then” (@PlayersChoice_) pic.twitter.com/Jr74NxREGe -via Twitter @TheNBACentral / August 30, 2022
NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and Naperville, Ill.-based investment manager Calamos Investments, are partnering to launch an ESG fund. A recent SEC filing showed the Calamos Antetokounmpo Sustainable Equities Trust will be co-managed by Calamos senior vice presidents James Madden and Anthony Tursich. -via Wall Street Journal / August 29, 2022
