[Nehm via the Athletic] Giannis Antetokounmpo: “… I love playing against Atlanta.”



Following his loss against the Hawks on Monday night, Giannis had this to say when speaking to Eric Nehm of the Athletic:

“ I always love playing against people that love, that take pride in guarding and he’s one of them,” Antetokounmpo said of Okongwu. “Capela is another one. Collins, another one. But I always love playing against people that take pride in defending and take the challenge.”

Giannis continued, “I don’t want it to be easy. I want it to be a challenge and whenever I play those guys, it’s always a challenge and I respect that and they’ve improved from day one — all three of them. And it’s always a battle when you play against Atlanta. So, I love playing against Atlanta.”

    Jalen Johnson is going to be added to that list this season. He was putting in work on help defense against Giannis.

    Damn bro I’m upset at how cool this is to hear from him. Fuck you dude.

  4. How can you hate Giannis? He’ll drop 30 on your team any night, maybe get some bs calls but the guys a class act. Real recognize real.
