Leading the others to play hard

It seems as if in only his second year at the mid-season classic, Giannis is already making serious impressions on his fellow All-Stars. Take this story from team captain, Stephen Curry, about Antetokounmpo’s work ethic before the practice/media session on Saturday afternoon

This type of attitude from Giannis has been long evident for Bucks fans, but it will be on full display for the wider NBAonce again on Sunday night.

The league has done what it can to make the game more competitive by altering the format, but it will ultimately be up to the players to decide how the game will go.

Last year, Giannis was actually trying to get steals, blocks, and just play defense. I believe that Giannis will come out of the gate and provide the necessary energy and effort to rally his teammates into doing the same.

Already the leader of his own team, Antetokounmpo should have no problem being a leader amongst his peers.
