Rockets fans roast Giannis for sharing his video edit with Olajuwon

Many Rockets fans on Twitter didn’t take kindly to Antetokounmpo’s edited video of himself alongside Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan.

With his recent MVP win for the 2019-20 season, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo joined NBA legends Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan as the only players in league history to win the awards for MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season.

“Just being in that conversation and in the same sentence as them, it means a lot to me,” Antetokounmpo said after the announcement.

At the moment, though, there is one obvious outlier among that trio. Jordan and Olajuwon combined for eight NBA titles in the 1990s, whereas the “Greek Freak” is still looking for his first after another early exit from the playoffs. When Olajuwon won MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the 1993-94 season, he capped it with the first championship of his career and in the entire history of the Houston Rockets.

So when Antetokounmpo posted an edited video to his Twitter account on Wednesday of his own highlights mixed with Jordan and Olajuwon, many users felt compelled to note the clear difference.

It was a remarkable 2019-20 season for Antetokounmpo, who averaged 29.5 points (55.3% FG), 13.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game.

But until the 6-foot-11 forward wins a title, there’s an obvious gap between the Milwaukee star and the sport’s all-time greats.
