Giannis Antetokounmpo is no longer a run and dunk man even if naysayers continue to insist on it. The stats are ready to back up the Milwaukee Bucks star.

He honed his midrange skills in the past two years and showed it last season and in the recently-concluded EuroBasket 2025 where his country Greece won the bronze medal.
Like all the greatest NBA players, he is not yet done improving. He used to be a lanky guard but is now a dominant force on the inside. It is time to take his game outside and he is looking to improve that season.

The NBA great he is going to call for help is the most perfect man to help him on that department. Giannis said he wants to work with 2025 Hall of Fame member.
Giannis Antetokounmpo eyes workout with Carmelo Anthony
The Greek Freak wants to keep his competitive fire. He reiterated his strategy to not work with active players but he is eying to have sessions with New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets legend Carmelo Anthony who retired in 2022.
“I don’t like working with players who are playing right now,” he said in an interview with Greek site Sport 24.
“I want to work with young guys and with LeBron, for example. I could work with LeBron, but he’s still playing. I’ll see him in a month or two and he’ll be my opponent. I like working with players who are retired. I think the next one is Carmelo Anthony. If I could work with Carmelo Anthony, I would love to.”
Anthony considered one of the best scorers in the league with his outside shooting. Another skill that sets him apart to other players is his footwork and the way he can just shake off defenders with his pivot. Even Stephen Curry is in awe of it.
Antetokounmpo getting this will definitely be deadly.
