Larry Bird’s quote about Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo recently appeared on social media, especially since the Greek freak has been bothering him lately. During a meeting with the NBA on TNT, the former three-time NBA MVP praised the 29-year-old star.
“I really like seeing his development from where he came to now. The length, the strength and what he does is just amazing.” Bird said at Antetokounmpo.
“Can you imagine ten guys his size playing? Wouldn’t that be something? He is amazing. There are many great players in our league now. I really like the position of the league,” he added.
Bird also said he would love to play against Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic when he is in prime form. His comments came before the start of the 2024-25 NBA season.
With Antetokounmpo at the helm, the Milwaukee Bucks are now on top 10-9 on the seasoninto fifth place in the Eastern Conference after recording a sixth straight victory over the Washington Wizards on Saturday night.
