Giannis Antetokounmpo finally Responded to LeBron James after Bron said he’d score 250 points in 1970s NBA Game
In a teaser clip from an upcoming episode of The Pat McAfee Show, LeBron James stirred the basketball world with a bold claim about Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“You trying to tell me Giannis wouldn’t be able to play an NBA game in the 70s?” LeBron said. “Giannis Antetokounmpo would have 250 points in a game in the 70s. 250!”
Giannis Antetokounmpo expressed his appreciation after LeBron James recently remarked that the Bucks star could potentially score 250 points in a game but go real immediately after that.
Following Milwaukee’s 116-107 defeat to the New York Knicks on Friday, Antetokounmpo lightheartedly responded to the comment, suggesting he might even score around 275 points in a ’70s game, but then he got really serious about it.
After LeBron James’ statement suggesting he could score 250 points in a game if he played in the 1970s. Sharing his thoughts, Antetokounmpo respectfully disagreed with the claim, calling it a “WRONG TAKE.”
“I think if I played in the ’70s… probably more like 275,” Antetokounmpo joked, before quickly clarifying that he was not being serious.
Despite the compliment, the Bucks star expressed his discomfort with comparing different basketball eras. “I don’t like comparing eras. It’s not fair,” he said. Antetokounmpo explained that if he had played in the 1970s, he would have approached the game similarly to how others did at that time, reflecting the playing styles and training methods of the era.
“The game evolves,” he continued. “We got to 2020 and we know more. People shoot the ball from half court. It’s totally different, so you cannot compare this era with that era.”
