Giannis Antetokounmpo Reveals Shocking Insights into Suns’ Big 3 After Phoenix Win – Must-Read
The Milwaukee Bucks had just one-third of their Big 3 on Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns. Damian Lillard did not suit up due to a left ankle sprain, while Khris Middleton exited after just eight minutes of action also because of a left ankle problem.
This left Giannis Antetokounmpo with the gargantuan task of having to go up against Phoenix’s three-headed monster — a feat that proved too much to handle even for the two-time NBA MVP.
The Suns, however, came into the game at full strength. Kevin Durant (28 points, 10 rebounds), Devin Booker (32 points, four assists), and Bradley Beal (25 points, 10 rebounds) all balled out on Tuesday as the Suns Big 3 showcased their elite firepower against an undermanned Bucks side.
In the end, Phoenix secured the win, 114-106.
After the game, Giannis conceded that it was an extremely tough challenge for him to have to battle three of the top stars in the NBA today. Antetokounmpo dropped a hilariously perfect analogy as he attempted to put into words what the Bucks just went through:
“This is incredible,” Antetokounmpo said, via Eric Nehm of The Athletic. “It’s like what do you want to die from? You want to die from the crocodile, the snake or the hippopotamus? Man, anything you pick, it’s hard.”
I’m just not sure which one of Durant, Booker, and Beal is the crocodile, the snake, and the hippopotamus, but you get the point.
While some malicious minds out there might be quick to connect the snake reference to Durant, let me assure you that this was not Antetokounmpo’s intention. Or at least I don’t think so.
