Giannis Antetokonmpo is no longer the raw, wide-eyed prospect that he once was for the Milwaukee Bucks. He understands how to play the game in this league – even off the court.
Giannis knows that marketing yourself goes a long way. That's why Antetokounmpo was seen making a strong plea to the Bucks media team to make sure they showcase his strengths, and to even make his weaknesses look like strengths, too.
“You guys, post my dunks. My threes. When I make a three, make it look good,” implored the Bucks star. “Post it from different angles now. You know what I'm saying? Like post it from this angle, then this angle, so it looks like I made four of them, huh? So people think I can shoot now.”
Perhaps some spicy highlight reels will help boost Giannis Antetokounmpo's shooting reputation around the league. And even if it doesn't, at least Bucks fans have more sweet videos of the Greek Freak dominating.
But if Giannis truly wants to garner more respect for his jumpshot, the best way to do it is still on the court. Antetokounmpo is a career 28.7% shooting from downtown, but was slightly better the past two seasons shooting over 30%. If he actually bumps that up to a league-average clip then there's virtually nothing that can stop him from getting the Bucks another title soon enough.
