Antetokounmpo believes it’s not Michael Jordan but the Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
“Some guys might say he is No. 2, but other guys like me, I say he is No. 1, and he’s still going,” Antetokounmpo told Joe Vardon from The Athletic.
Antetokounmpo also praised LeBron’s public image, arguing that James set an example for the rest of the NBA players.
“For 21 years, you never get in trouble, to be able to take in his family, protect this family, raise his kids the right way, you know, be happily married, all those things, it’s perfect,” Antetokounmpo said.
“He’s kind of like setting the blueprint for the rest of us to go forward. That’s what I want. I want to be able to do what I do on the court consistently, be good, be healthy, be available for my team, be able to, you know, raise my family in a bubble away from what I do on the court for them to have a normal life as much as I can. Stay out of trouble.
