59 year old Michael Jordan Abuses NBA Analyst In Strong Defense of Giannis Antetokounmpo

Michael Jordan has always had an intimidating aura and personality. He has always been dominant on and off the court. Moreover, he has always been opinionated and this time he had strong opinions about the man in tremendous form, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo has been a sensation this season. Winning the MVP for two consecutive years in 2019, 2020, and winning the NBA championship along with the finals MVP last season, Giannis has been tremendous this season as well. The Greek Freak has been on top of his game and has his eyes set on the MVP award.

The Bucks are flying high, and Giannis deserves most of the credit. He has displayed quality, consistency, and form in every aspect of the game. Only Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid have come close.
