Without any debate, Giannis Antetokounmpo is the most talented of his brothers and two of the best players in the NBA can guarantee that. The powerful striker was his team's top scorer with 24 points. But his brother Thanasis did not suffer the same fate The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Charlotte Hornets 123-85.
The 31-year-old striker earned Doc Rivers' trust with 12 minutes on the field. But his performance was disappointing when he finished without points, a rebound and an assist. After the huge difference between his five players, the experienced player missed the opportunity to appear in the challenge.
In addition, the oldest Greek was the hero of some mistakes in the confrontation, which is a common occurrence this season for the striker. Trying to make an alley oop, Thanassis was unable to control the ball and failed to dunk it with his hands in the final quarter.
In the same way, Antetokounmpo wanted to play it one-on-one looking for his first two shots, but just as he was about to leave a layup, the Hornets defense intercepted him. Although he has not enjoyed many minutes this season, the striker has been unable to capitalize on his few movements on the pitch Only two goals in his last 16 minutes.
His performance in the last two games reflects his poor participation in the 2023-24 season with 1.0 points per night, 0.5 assists and 0.4 sacks in 25 games played.
