Reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo marveled at the sustained greatness of
LeBron James as his Milwaukee Bucks prepare to host James' Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.
ESPN's Eric Woodyard noted the Greek Freak called King James "different" and an "alien" for his ability to remain among the league's elite at age 34.
"It's crazy. It's insane," Antetokounmpo said. "Obviously for me, that's one of my goals to be able to play at a high level for the next 10 years."
He touched on a similar sentiment during a conversation with Eric Nehm of The Athletic earlier this week:
"When I was 12 years old and starting to play basketball, he was 22 leading his team to the Finals. Like I was 12, he was 22 and I looked up to him for a lot of years. It's hard to get that shit out of your system whenever you're playing."
