The Milwaukee Bucks are in a favorable position for the 2024-25 NBA season. They currently hold the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference standings with a record of 25 wins and 18 losses. The two-time NBA MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who consistently plays hard, is a significant contributor to their success.
Antetokounmpo has been consistently showcasing exceptional performances throughout the current regular season. Nevertheless, he possesses a hilarious perspective when discussing his game. In a recent post-game interview, the Greek Freak expressed that he consistently aims to compete aggressively against every opponent he faces on the court.
“Every time I step on the floor, I try to play hard. If I was playing against older players, against younger players, against my brothers, against my friends, or even if I’m playing against my wife, I’d be honest with you, I always play hard. And I think at one point I realized that’s a skill,” Antetokounmpo said.
Giannis: “Every time I step on the floor, I try to play hard. If I was playing against older players, against younger players, against my brothers, against my friends, or even if I’m playing against my wife…I always play hard.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo Lauds James Harden’s Incredible Game
The Bucks recently faced the Los Angeles Clippers at the Intuit Dome, where Giannis Antetokounmpo showcased a dominant performance. He recorded a double-double with 36 points and 13 rebounds in 35 minutes of play. However, his effort wasn’t enough to overcome James Harden’s impressive display. Harden scored 40 points, contributed 9 assists, and grabbed 5 rebounds, leading the Clippers to a 127-117 victory over the Bucks. Despite the loss, Antetokounmpo praised Harden’s remarkable performance in the post-game interview.
“Incredible. Incredible talent. One of the best players to ever play the game. He’s probably scored 25,000 points plus. Still able to get to his spots. Still able to help his team win. He’s an incredible talent,” Antetokounmpo said.

During the recent defeat against the Clippers, Antetokounmpo encountered a rather amusing episode as fans in the stands humorously taunted him by meticulously tracking every second he spent at the free-throw line. Following this game, the Bucks are set to compete against the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center in their next matchup.
