Giannis Antetokounmpo is arguably the best bet to challenge LeBron James in the Eastern Conference in the MVP race at the end of the season.
The ‘Greek Freak’ has enjoyed a rapid rise up the player rankings since being drafted 15th overall by the bucks in 2013.
And last season his exploits was rewarded with being named a start on the Eastern Conference All-Star team.
He became the first player in NBA history to finish in the top 20 in the league in each of the five major categories in a regular season and was named the Most Improved Player.
But he will face his toughest test this evening when he comes head-to-head with James who almost picked up a triple-double in the Cavaliers’ season-opening win against the Boston Celtics despite concerns over an ankle injury.
It promises to be an enticing affair and here’s how you can follow the action live.
