The two men agree about the fact that Antetokounmpo is the top player in the NBA. There is a time and a place for this.
The debate about the best player in the NBA is a simple one for the Milwaukee Bucks' star.
He doesn't think he's the best player in the league because his team didn't win the title. He was going to give that honor to Stephen Curry.
The best player in the world is the one who is the last man standing according to Antetokounmpo. That's how I view it, the person that takes his team to the finals is the one that helps them win the game. The best player in the world is Curry.
He fell short of the claim after Milwaukee lost in the second round of the playoffs.
The thrill of winning the NBA finals trumped the individual awards for Antetokounmpo, who finished third in the voting for NBA Most Valuable Player.
He said it was a pleasant feeling. Golden State was in the parade and the ESPYs. You know what it feels like now. You know what's going to be taken away from you.
The team believes they have a chance to win the NBA Championship again with Antetokounmpo at the center. They brought back many of their players from last year. Jordan Nwora, who signed a two-year, $6.2 million deal to stay with the Bucks on Sunday, was one of 16 players who were on the roster at some point last season.
Budenholzer said it was difficult to keep a good team together. Teams want their players when you are winning. If you've been in the NBA for a long time, we've all seen it. I can't tell you how excited we are that we can keep it together. It's because we think in it.
While a couple of their wing players work their way back from injuries, the team won't be at full strength for the start of the season.
Khris will not be ready to play in the season opener because of his wrist surgery.
He had a cast removed from his wrist about two weeks ago and was hoping to regain his range of motion soon. He played through the pain in his wrist until the first round of the playoffs, when he suffered an injury to his left knee.
It is hoped that it is close to the start of the season. It will not be that week, but soon after that.
Milwaukee signed Joe Ingles, who is recovering from a tornACL, in free agency. At the end of January, Ingles tore theACL in his left knee and had surgery to repair it.
The upcoming January is a realistic time for Jon to come back.
It was fun to say that you brought your team back. I think Joe is important for us. We'll either be right or wrong, that's how this business works, but that's not a big deal. That's a big deal to our team.
