High Praise
Jason Kidd, the Bucks’ coach, had a lot of praise for Giannis, who was often matched up against LeBron James in the game against Cleveland Cavaliers. He ended up tied with a career-high of 34 points along with 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and two blocks in a 118 to 101 win. On December 5th, Giannis was named ‘Eastern Conference Player of the Week’.
