Giannis Antetokounmpo Responds to LeBron's 1970s Praise: 'Comparing Eras Isn't Fair'
Giannis Antetokounmpo reacts to LeBron James's comments about how he would perform in past eras, emphasizing the evolution of the game.
LeBron James recently praised Giannis Antetokounmpo, suggesting he could score 250 points in a game if he played in the 1970s. However, Giannis remarked, ‘Great compliment, but I don’t like comparing eras,’ emphasizing how the game has evolved over decades. He added, ‘If I played in the 70s, I’d probably play the same way they played.’ This highlights the differences in training, strategy, and knowledge fans and players have today compared to past eras. Despite his reflections on the comparisons, Antetokounmpo remains a dominant player in today’s NBA, averaging 30.2 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game this season.
