With quality, comes comparisons. Over the years, numerous parallels have been drawn between defending NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo and 4-time winner LeBron James. While many have claimed that the Lakers star is still clear of the younger, a couple of standouts have opined that the overseas star is a tad bit better. Recently, Nick Adams, a popular author and Donald Trump contact, gave an eye-widening view on the same.

An NBA veteran in his own right, James debuted in 2003, for the Cleveland Cavaliers. In his very first season, he averaged over 20 points. The wily forward was termed as the next big thing, and his numbers only skyrocketed as the seasons progressed. Characteristically, ‘Bron’ has played with the best of the best, and has been lauded by one and all. Currently, he is chasing his 5th title, whereas the Greek Freak aims to stop him. A dominant forward himself, Giannis has delivered other-worldly numbers for over five years now. Do you think there is a valid comparison?
Donald Trump’s favorite author rates Giannis over LeBron James
In the ongoing season, the two concerned teams are having contrasting outings. While the men in green sit comfortably in 3rd spot, Frank Vogel and co. are struggling to get going. A major reason for their lapse in form, has been the impending injury woes for LeBron. After a long time, it seems like age has finally caught up to the 17-time All-star, notwithstanding him still being the best player in the team. As a result, Athens’ one and only has been having a better time thus far, calling for praises. And according to renowned author Nick Adams, there is no comparison.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is better than LeBron James in every single way imaginable.
He’s a better person, a better player, and he’s loyal to Milwaukee.

Both Giannis and LeBron are known for their innate ability to impose themselves on the game. They take the bull by the horns, and play fearless basketball. As intriguing as this juxtaposition is though, it has been the 26-year-old who is eking out superior numbers. Meanwhile, Adams, who has been endorsed by the former President, has given his outlook. “Giannis Antetokounmpo is better than LeBron James in every single way imaginable. He’s a better person, a better player, and he’s loyal to Milwaukee,” he believes.
Do you agree with what the best-selling author had to say? Although there are so many comparisons between the two, you can’t help but admire the pair. In their own way, they are occupying their slots in the league’s Hall of Fame. And albeit arguable, perhaps the Greek star is the rightful successor to the King!
