The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo talks about his personal ambitions and discloses where he rates himself next to his superstar peers.

In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, Giannis Antetokounmpo rates himself compared to other superstars around the league, Brook Lopez approves of his ‘Splash Mountain’ nickname and much more.

Staying true to his hungry and driven nature, Antetokounmpo is far from viewing himself as better than his superstar peers as he feels he can always get better with each passing year and have something to chase towards rather than feeling content with where he’s at in his development as a player.
