Giannis Antetokounmpo said that Stephen Curry is the best player in the world as of now.

 

“Am I one of the best players in the world? Ι am mature enough to help my team win games? Yes.”

But he went on to add: “Am I the best in the world? No. I believe that the best player in the world is the last man standing. It’s the person that takes his team to the final and helps them win the game.

Two years ago, when we did that, I was sleeping on my bed thinking that maybe I am the best player in the world, you know? But now, no.

In my opinion, the winner is the best. I believe that the best player in the world is Steph Curry. Until the next player,” the 28-year-old forward said (via Basketnews).

A few hours later, Stephen Curry replied to Giannis.

“I appreciate the compliment. It’s not going to soften me up to get complacent at all,” the superstar guard told. “But you do appreciate the respect of your peers to go out and say stuff like that, and I’ve been in the situation where I’m complimenting guys around the league a lot as well.”
