When I think of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s career trajectory, from skinny smoothie-aficionado to the presumed heir to LeBron James‘ throne on top of the east, I’m often reminded of this famous line from Will Ferrell’s “Anchorman”:
Giannis’ statistical progression has been nothing short of astounding . The Greek Freak has improved substantially in every single category, every season since his rookie year. We often think of player progress as linear, but it seldom ever is. No doubt his durability has helped in that regard. Giannis hasn’t, knock on wood, had any major injuries to contend with.
